R129 freon pressures

For the life of me I cannot find what the high and low pressures should normally be for the Air Conditioning on a 2002 SL500. I want to add freon but don't want to blow the compressor. Any help?

I'd shoot for 35/250 ensuring that the fan runs at 250. If the fan doesnt run over 250 it can hit 400 and it will find a way out at that kind of pressure.

What is meant by fan running at 250? Do you (or anyone) know where the tech specs for A/C pressures would be? Thanks

Here is the pressure chart for R-134a.

I will caution you that this is not something you should be doing if you don't understand how automotive AC systems work. This might be better something letter the professionals handle.
