BLA600yfA INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: ALWAYS WEAR PROTECTIVE RUBBER GLOVES AND EYE WEAR.
DANGER: NEVER PLACE REFRIGERANT CAN ON ANY HOT ENGINE PART.
1. Remove SMART CLIPS from the cap and insert into vehicle’s center air vent.
- Tighten recharge hose to can by turning counter-clockwise.
2. Open vehicle hood, locate the low-side service port and remove port cap.
- Recharge hose will only connect to the low-side port.

- Recharge hose will only connect to the low-side port.
3. Start the engine and turn on A/C.
- Set controls to maximum cool, maximum air flow and recirculation mode.
- Close all windows and doors of vehicle.
- Important: Let the A/C system run for several minutes to reach its maximum cooling capability.
4. Shake the can well and connect recharge hose to low-side service port.
- Pull coupler ring back as you push fitting onto the port.
- Ensure coupler locks in place to prevent leaking.
5. Determine the ideal PSI level using temperature pressure chart and check system pressure.
- Read gauge pressure when the compressor clutch cycles on
- If the gauge reads:
- Below 25 PSI: system is low on refrigerant. Begin recharging process.
- 25-55 PSI: system may be properly charged. Check SMART CLIPS, blue coloring indicates cool air is flowing.
- Above 55 PSI: If compressor clutch is cycled on, do not recharge – seek a mechanic’s assistance.

6. Add refrigerant to the system.
- Turn push-button on top of can to the unlock position.
- Push button down while continually rotating the can in a sweeping motion from the 12 o’clock to 3 o’clock position.

7. Check gauge pressure every 10-15 seconds by releasing the push button.
- Continue process until the gauge reaches the ideal PSI level according to the chart.
- If your gauge is not increasing, stop charging and check SMART CLIPS as directed in next step.
DO NOT OVERCHARGE. DO NOT VENT.
8. Check SMART CLIPS for temperature.
- With vehicle in park, press gas pedal slightly to increase RPM and check color for.
- Blue = cool, approaching optimum fill.
- Green = max cold, charging is complete.
- NOTE: If outside temperature is above 95º, only the blue clip needs to change.

9. Stop charging when correct PSI level is reached or SMART CLIPS indicate the A/C is blowing cold.
- Remove the quick-connect coupler from the service port.
- Store can in a cool, dry place or discard according to state or local guidelines.
- BONUS: Recharge hose can be detached and SMART CLIPS reinserted into cap for reuse.
DANGER: STORE IN COOL PLACE – NEVER IN PASSENGER CABIN OF VEHICLE AS CAN MAY EXPLODE. DO NOT EXPOSE TO TEMPERATURES ABOVE 120°F. DO NOT PUNCTURE OR INCINERATE.
