Instructions:
1. Locate the AC recharge port. It is usually a small, brass fitting located on the side of the AC compressor or on the receiver drier.
2. Connect the AC recharge hose to the recharge port.
3. Open the AC refrigerant can.
4. Slowly release the AC refrigerant into the system by turning the valve on the recharge hose.
5. Monitor the pressure on the pressure gauge. The pressure should be between 25 and 50 psi.
6. Continue adding AC refrigerant until the pressure reaches the desired level.
7. Close the valve on the recharge hose and disconnect it from the recharge port.
8. Start the engine and turn on the AC to circulate the refrigerant.
