Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure your vehicle is parked on level ground with the engine running. Locate the low-pressure side service port, which is typically marked with an 'L' on the thicker aluminum tubing in your engine bay. Always wear safety glasses and gloves when handling refrigerant canisters. Before use, verify that your car utilizes an R134a system, as this kit is not compatible with older R12 systems or newer R1234yf systems. After usage, ensure the valve is tightly closed and store the canister in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent pressure buildup.
