Tools & Tool Manuals
High-quality manifold gauges are essential for reading system pressures and performing recovery/recharge operations.
- Red hose: High pressure side
- Blue hose: Low pressure side
- Yellow hose: Recovery/recharge
- Pressure ranges: 0-500 PSI high, 0-150 PSI low
Refrigerant recovery is required by EPA regulations. The Mastercool 69110 is commonly used for Bobcat service.
- Recovers refrigerant without venting
- Separates oil from refrigerant
- Meets EPA 608 certification requirements
- Required for all AC service work
Used to evacuate air and moisture from the AC system before charging with refrigerant.
- Needs vacuum pump oil to function properly
- Removes moisture from system
- Typical evacuation time: 30 minutes
Precision scale for measuring refrigerant quantity during recovery and charging operations.
- Accurate to 0.1 oz
- Learn how to 'Tare' the scale
- Tracks recovered and charged refrigerant amount
- Refrigerant is expensive
Various methods for detecting refrigerant leaks in Bobcat AC systems.
- Electronic leak detectors (UV or heated diode)
- UV dye and black light
- Nitrogen pressure testing and soapy water
Infrared and contact probes for measuring temperatures during AC system operation.
- Infrared non-contact works well for condenser temps
- Pocket thermometer is best for measuring duct temps
- DVOM temperature probes work well for condenser and evaporator temps
