If you are using a hydrocarbon instead of the original Freon R12 you cannot use the pressure information in the maintenance manual.
You should not put in more than three 6 ounce cans or it won’t cool. You should fill to about 20 psi at 1500 rpm. Forget about static or non running pressures. If the ambient temperatures are high it will be a bit higher pressure such as 25 psi.
