STEP 6 - Adjust refrigerant level to attain proper
gage pressure.
Add refrigerant if the design subcooling is lower
than the chart value.
Recover refrigerant if the subcooling is higher
than the chart value.
Note: When the subcooling match the chart,
the system is properly charged.
Connect gages to refrigerant bottle and unit
as illustrated.
Purge all hoses.
Open bottle.
Stop adding refrigerant when subcooling.
