VACUUM
The vacuum function of the 37880 SERIES is designed
to remove air/moisture from the automobile A/C system
by pulling a deep vacuum. This mode is most often

the A/C system to the atmosphere. Moisture in an A/C
system can cause erratic operation and must be re-
moved before recharging the system with refrigerant.
