(2) Close the condenser shutoff valve (outlet) by turning valve stem fully clockwise.
(3) Install a suction pressure gage on the compressor suction service valve as shown in
figure 4-2.
(4) Operate the unit until suction pressure gage registers 5 to 10 inches ( 12.75 to
25.5cm) of mercury vacuum.
(5) Shut off machine and observe pressure gage for a few minutes. If pressure
rebuilds, repeat step (4) until pressure does not rebuild appreciably.
(6) Crack condenser shutoff valve (outlet) until 3 to 4 psig is indicated on the suction
pressure gage.
(7) Close condenser shutoff valve (inlet) by turning valve stem clockwise as far as it
will go.
(8) Remove suction pressure gage from compressor suction service valve.

OPENING THE SYSTEM.
Before opening the refrigerant system, the pressure in the system should be known. If the system is
under high pressure. excessive loss of refrigerant will occur. If opened under vacuum, air is drawn into
the system which will cause operating difficulties. If the pressure gage indicates a vacuum after pump-
ing down, open the receiver outlet valve slightly to build 3 to 4 pounds pressure in the system.
