[DeTomaso] Help Charging AC

[Chris Difani]

Fellow AC Beginners, Fellow Automotive AC Related Information Aficionados, and Fellow Pantera Gearheads:

Here is a direct download link to a digital copy of the 2001 Haynes Automotive Tech Manual on Automotive Heating and Air Conditioning Systems.

http://rapidshare.com/files/56480384/HT-_Automotive_Heating_and_Air_Conditioning_Systems.pdf

Double click on the above link, and then click on the "Save as" option, or whatever your particular computer offers you as choices. This is an uncompressed PDF file, with no security, or passwords, or any other kind of barrier to downloading and reading by the computer challenged. 

Another downloading option is to use your Windows Run application. To do this, first highlight the above link, then click on "Edit" (in the menu bar at the top of the window), then click on "Copy". Next go to the Windows Start button, and click once on it (bottom left corner of the screen), then click on "Run". You'll see the text box where you now paste the link into. To paste the link (that you just copied), hold the Ctrl key down, and then tap the "V" key (for insert) (if the paste operation doesn't work, make sure that there is a blinking cursor in that text box. You can make that happen, by simply clicking your cursor in that text box. Now try the Ctrl-V key stroke combo again, and proceed). That will paste the link into the Run's text box. Then click on "Okay", and follow the prompts, questions, or whatever, until you download the file to your local harddrive.

If you still don't have any success, please email me, and we'll figure out something.... one way or the other... 

To view this manual, you must have a reasonably current copy of Adobe Acrobat Reader. Probably version 5 is the oldest that will work well. Since Acrobat Reader is now at version 8, I'm pretty sure that most everyone's going to have a working copy. And again, if anyone has problems, email me, and I'll help you out.

Lotsa luck,

Chris
