I wondered the same thing. ^^^^^^ I just purged the system a little than added one big can and 1/2- 3/4 of a smaller can. Bumped me up to 35 psi and 57 degrees.

Looking at the maintenance guide, I guess up to 50psi you should be ok. I wouldn't worry about it too much though Helmutt, I am sure they include a bit of safety factor in there-as long as you are blowing cold air and your compressor isn't making any crazy noises.

C as long as you made sure you hooked into the low pressure side of the line, just keep putiing the freon in there until the pressure stabilizes. My pressure, before I started charging the system, was bouncing around from 0-40 or 50 (I don't remember how high but it was in the red zone on the gauge that came with the can) and finally stabilized after about a half a can of charge.

reading this thread is making me cringe!
someone posted a chart showing correct pressure for ambient temps.
follow it for best results.
it's possible to get too much refrigerant in system. if AC system is leaking down, best to find source of leak.
please consider reading a few HOW TO's posted in lots of places on WWW.

^^^^^ Well cringe on, but most people on this forum like to do the work themselves, and following a chart usually gives you the best result, but if a mistake is already made, you usually need to make a judgement call as to what you are going to do to fix the issue.
