GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
ONLY QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL SHOULD OPERATE THIS UNIT. MOST STATES,
COUNTRIES, ETC… MAY REQUIRE THE USER TO BE LICENSED. PLEASE CHECK WITH YOUR
LOCAL GOVERNMENT AGENCY.
Danger- Avoid breathing refrigerant vapors and lubricant vapor or mist. Breathing high concentration levels
may cause heart arrhythmia, loss of consciousness, or even cause suffocation. Exposure may irritate eyes,
nose, throat, and skin. Please read the manufacturers Material Safety Data Sheet for further safety informa-
tion on refrigerants and lubricants.
Danger- EXPLOSION RISK. Use extreme caution when working with flammable refrigerants. Never use
this manifold with Oxygen.
Danger- EXPLOSION/RUPTURE RISK. DO NOT use this manifold with unregulated nitrogen, carbon diox-
ide or other very high pressure gasses. Unregulated gasses can cause components in a refrigeration system
to rupture. Severe Injury or Death can occur.
Caution- all hoses may contain liquid refrigerant under pressure. Contact with refrigerant may cause frost-
bite or other related injuries. Wear proper personal protective equipment such as safety goggles and gloves.
When disconnecting any hose, please use extreme caution.
2 WAY MANIFOLD FUNCTION
1. The right side hand knob (red) will control the flow to the right side port.
2. The left side hand knob (blue) will control the flow to the left side port.
3. The center port is used from common connection to vacuum pump, recovering unit or refrigerant
supply tank. The center port is also equipment with a tee fitting with valve core. This allows for dual
hook up between vacuum pump and refrigerant supply tank.
4. Low Pressure gauge measures pressure on the left side port with the left side valve closed.
5. High Pressure gauge measures pressure on the right side port with the right side valve closed.

EVACUATING PROCEDURE
1. Remove all refrigerant from the
system. NOTE: It is unlawful to
discharge or exhaust refrigerants into
the atmosphere. CPS strongly
recommends the practice of recovery
or recycling.
2. Connect a vacuum pump to the center
yellow charging hose.
3. Connect the high side service valve of
the system to the right side red
charging hose.
4. Connect the low side service valve of
the system to the left side blue hose.
5. Fully open the high and low side hand
knobs.
6. Start the vacuum pump.
7. Evacuate the system according to the
manufactuer’s specifications; close the
high and low side hand knobs.
8. Turn off the vacuum pump.
9. Disconnect the yellow charging hose
at the vacuum pump end and connect
it to the refrigerant supply tank. (Make
sure to turn shut off valve, off before
disconnecting).
10.Slightly open the valve on the
refrigerant supply tank and purge the
air from the yellow hose at the
manifold by loosening the yellow hose
fitting, the close fitting and container
valve.
CHARGING PROCEDURE
1. Follow the manufacturer’s
recommended specification for the
amount of refrigerant to charge in that
system. Should it specify to charge the
system on that high side, close the low
side service valve. Open the
refrigerant supply container valve,
then open the high side (red label)
hand knob of
the manifold. After the proper amount
of refrigerant has been transferred,
close the high red label hand knob of
the manifold; also close the
refrigerant supply container valve.
2. When the proper charge has been
achieved, open the low side service
valve on the system.
3. Run the compressor as per the
manufacturer’s specifications and
observe the pressure gauge reading
and compare to the manufacturer’s
specifications to determine that the
system is operating correctly. If no
adjustments need to be made, then
read step 4. If not, follow proper
procedures to repair or adjust the
system.
4. Close the high and low side service
valve of the system before removing
the charging hoses from the system.
Follow all safety practice procedures.
WARNING: Remove all hoses with care as
they may contain refrigerant.
