How to Remove Excess Freon
- 1). Open the motor vehicle's hood, revealing the engine.
- 2). Find the high- and low-side hoses for the air conditioning unit. Also, locate their respective valves.
- 3). Insert the low-side line from the recovery machine into the car's A/C low-side valve. Typically, the machine's low-side line is colored blue.
- 4). Insert the high-side line from the recovery machine into the car's A/C high-side valve. The machine's high-side line is normally red.
- 5). Turn open the storage valves in the back of the recovery machine.
- 6). Switch open the two valves located on the front of the recovery machine.
- 7). Look for a button marked "Recover" or something similar. Push the button on the keyboard to start the recovery process.
- 8). Close all valves on the machine when finished. It is extremely important you close the valves on the storage unit as to not release Freon into the atmosphere.
- 9). Unplug the high- and low-side lines from the motor vehicle's A/C hoses. Close shut the valves on the vehicle too.
