Connecting the Pump

1. Connect a constant (75 psi) air source to the air

input tting located on the back of the pump. This

which is connected to the A/C system, to the vacuum

tee tting (appropriate for the type of system —

cap the port not used. Open both valves on the
manifold.

3. Turn on the air supply to evacuate the system.

Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s specications for

correct evacuation.

4. Turn off the air supply before disconnecting the
