Purging hoses and manifold
Having fitted the gauges to the service valves, the next step is to remove any air from the hoses and manifold. Air contains moisture and is a contaminant, and its entry to the system must be prevented.
Once the gauges have been fitted, proceed as follows:
1 Crack off the discharge service valve (turn the valve stem one turn clock- wise).
2 Open both shut-off valves on the manifold.
3 Loosen the hose connection (blue) on the suction service valve and allow the pressure to leak out slowly for one or two seconds.
4 Tighten the hose connection.
5 Close both shut-off valves on the manifold.
6 Crack off the suction service valve.
