Yup - guess that's the plan!
(Actually, that's what I did - one time - for 3-4 minutes. Helped some.)
Thanks,

Well, I've never charged a system myself, so I can't tell you the procedure.
That being said, if I wanted to just get it working and not buy any more
equipment, I would add a little, and see if it cools adequately. If not,
add a little more. You'd lower your chances of damaging the system from
overfilling that way.
