Evacuation

2. Check air tightness
After the vacuum pump has been turned off, leave the system for 5 minutes with both the high and low-pressure valves closed. Confirm that the manifold gauge indicator reading has not changed since the pump was turned off.
 
HINT:
If the pressure increases (vacuum is lost), air has entered the A/C system. This leak requires detection and correction before repeating the vacuum procedure.
 
NOTICE:
If the level of vacuum pressure is not achieved and maintained, the moisture left inside the air-conditioner system may freeze and prevent the refrigerant from circulating, or cause corrosion inside the A/C system.
