Flushing

WARNING: to prevent injuries while
working with the refrigerant, read and
follow the instructions and warnings in this
manual, and wear protective clothing, such
as safety glasses and gloves.
WARNING: DO NOT disconnect the
service connections during the flushing
procedure. The refrigerant may escape
from the connections and exposure may
cause injury.
!
The flushing kit contains a replaceable filter that
can hold particles of certain dimensions, which
can clog. At the end of the flushing cycle, check the
pressure in the A/C system on the high pressure
gauge (red) and check the adapter for complete
refrigerant removal.
!
If there is still pressure or refrigerant remains,
close the flushing cycle and go to the recovery
function to recover the refrigerant with the high
pressure (red) and low pressure (blue) hoses.
Then perform the filter maintenance and repeat the
flushing procedure.
The flushing function must be performed using a
flushing kit approved by the vehicle manufacturer. Also
refer to the instructions included in the adapter while
performing the following procedure.
1. Check that the filter of the flushing device is not
clogged.
2. Install the flushing device according to the flushing
device instructions on the back of the station.
Do not make any connections at this stage.
3. Remove the oil drain bottle from the Bosch station.
4. Empty it and dispose of the oil according to the
law.
5. Reinstall the oil drain bottle on the station.
6. Recover all refrigerant from the A/C system to be
flushed.
7. Record the amount of oil collected during the
recovery. This quantity must be replaced with the
oil collected during flushing, if any.
!
The amount of oil collected and documented
during the A/C system flushing does not include
the amount of oil collected during the initial
recovery.
