    Charging a freezer properly

    Can anyone give a refresher in unit charging.
    Working on a truck freezer 404a, describe the details of saturation etc.

    In your situation...you'd probably be best off charging by weight per the name plate.

    We try not to do the "step by step" thing in the open forums.

    Get your post count up and get the Pro status, and any number of us will be happy to walk you through it.

    Why don't you start by telling us what you think you know about charging a system?

    I've found this to be a much better guideline to charging a system with a headmaster

    In my experience, I have found it best to charge a unit using

    My manifold hoses.

    It was just too difficult trying to pour refrigerant into the charging hole.

    The dipstick to make sure the oil level is full?
