Install in the reverse order
of removal, and note these items
| A. |
If you're installing
a new compressor, drain all the refrigerant oil from the removed
compressor, and measure its volume, Subtract the volume of drained
oil from 100cc(3.5 oz.) the result is the amount of oil you should
drain from the new compressor (through the suction fitting). |
| B. |
Replace the O-rings with
new ones at each fitting, and apply a thin coat of refrigerant oil
before installing them. Be sure to use the right O-rings for R-134a
to avoid leakage. |
| C. |
To avoid contamination,
do not return the oil to the container once dispensed, and never
mix it with other refrigerant oils. |
| D. |
Immediately after using
the oil, replace the cap on the container and seal it to avoid moisture
absorption. |
| E. |
Do not spill the refrigerant
oil on the vehicle; it may damage the paint; if the refrigerant
oil contacts the paint, wash it off immediately. |
| F. |
Adjust the drive belt. |
| G. |
Charge the system and
test its performance. |
