Brand: LeakFinder
Model Number: LF1800
Volume: 8 oz (237 ml)
Dye Type: Universal/Ester-based
Refrigerant Compatibility: R-134a, R-1234yf, and other refrigerants
Included in Product: One 8 oz (237 ml) LeakFinder BigEZ Universal A/C Dye cartridge
Preparation: Ensure the A/C system is properly charged. Connect a compatible caulking gun-style dye injector to the system's low-side service port.
Installation: Insert the LF1800 dye cartridge into the injector assembly. Follow the injector's instructions to ensure a secure, sealed connection.
Injection: Operate the injector to release the specified amount of dye into the A/C system. The dye will begin to circulate with the refrigerant and oil.
Circulation: Allow the A/C system to run for a period of time to ensure the dye is fully distributed throughout the system. The time required may vary depending on the system type.
Inspection: Using a UV or "black light" and UV-enhancing glasses, systematically scan all A/C components, including hoses, fittings, and the compressor.
Identification: A leak will be revealed by a glowing, fluorescent green spot where the dye has escaped the system. Mark the location for repair.
