Don't get any air in the system, purge the fill line before tightening the connectin to the compressor. Charge it through the suction (low pressure side) while it is running. Charge gas(little can upright) not liquid (can upside down) and only add very little, check operation, then add more if necessary.

Be careful, the can is under a lot of pressure, contains refrigerant oil, and if you get a dose in your eyes it can do a lot of damage in a heartbeat. Be very careful.
