No such thing on the 850. Many have said that the only way to correctly fill the system with refrigerant is to evacuate and refill with a machine that can accurately weigh the fill. Many others seem to have good luck just refilling using the kit and gauge. I think that I wouldn't want to try it without the pressure gauge. If you over fill the system, then you will have more problems. BTW, the pressure will cycle as the compressor cycles on and off. The correct method with the gauge (per earlier posts) is to use the low end pressure reading. It is easier to understand if you have the gauge attached, i.e. it should be in the blue at the low end pressure reading, not the high end.
