General Procedures

W ARNING: Use extreme care and observe all safety precautions
related to the use of refrigerants. The A/C refrigerant analyzer must be
used before the recovery of any vehicle's A/C refrigerant. Failure to do so
puts shop bulk refrigerant at risk of contamination. If the vehicle A/C
refrigerant is contaminated, refer the customer to return to the repair
facility that carried out the last A/C repair. If the customer wishes to pay
the additional cost, use the A/C recovery equipment that is designated for
recovering contaminated A/C refrigerant. All contaminated A/C refrigerant
must be disposed of as hazardous waste. For all equipment, follow the
equipment manufacturers procedures and instructions. Failure to follow
this instruction may result in personal injury.
• NOTE: Jaguar Cars Ltd supports the efficient usage, recovery and
recycling of the refrigerant used in passenger car air conditioners. Jaguar
Cars Ltd recommends the use of UL-approved recovery/recycling device
such as R-134a A/C refrigerant center (which meets SAE Standard J 1991)
during any A/C system repair and recharge procedure which requires that
the system be evacuated.
Use R-134a A/C refrigerant centre to evacuate and recover the A/C
system.
Follow the equipment manufacture procedures and instructions for
use of equipment.
