(d) Open the charging manifold valves.
(e) Open the refrigerant drum valve slightly and adjust as necessary to prevent formation of
frost, and allow system pressure to build up until the gages read 40-50 psi (2.8 - 3.5 kg/cm2).
(f) Close the charging manifold valves and the refrigerant drum valve.
(g) Remove the refrigerant -22 drum from the center hose connection.
(h) Connect a nitrogen regulator and cylinder of dry nitrogen to the center hose connection.
(i) Open the charging manifold valves and the nitrogen cylinder and regulator valve. Allow
system pressure to build up until gages read 350 psi (24.7 kg/cm2).
