VOLVO AC R134 refit kit instructions for the 700 series

Conversion of A/C system from R12 to R134a Retrofit: Page 8

Inspect A/C System

A20

Vacuum pump the A/C system

Connect R134a recycling/filling unit.
Start vacuum pumping and continue for at least 50

min.

Check that system keeps a vacuum. The vacuum must not sink during a 4 min period. (This is with the vacuum turned off) The recycling/filling unit is not required for this step. I used a standard AC vacuum from a R12 system. and connected it to the other R12 charging port opposite the pressostat (See arrow in the bottom picture) and ran the vacuum for the 50 min.

Complete the light blue rectangular R134a RETROFIT label before the protecteive paper and carbon is removed

Carefully clean off the old r12 decal on the body work, remove the carbon paper and stick the new, light-blue R134a RETROFIT lable over it. Make sure the old label is completely covered.
