1: Follow OEM recommendations when performing any retrofit & change to an approved filter drier. 2: When changing to POE, reduce contamination of

old oil to less than 5%. 3: Forane® 409A is recommended for most R-12 & R-500 systems. Use Forane® 134a for automotive A/C and flooded evaporators. 4: Use 80% for cap tubes, 85-90% for TXVs. 5: Use PAG in automotive A/C only. 6: Forane® 408A is recommended for R-502 applications. 7: For

R-22 retrofits, use Forane® 404A/507 for low temp and Forane® 407C for A/C.
