under Heater and Air Distributor Assembly.

COMPRESSOR

The same basic six.cylinder reciprocating compressor

is used in all systems.

Two variations of the basic compressor are used. One,

with a displacement of 12.6 cu. in. is used with the Four-

Season System. The second model, having displacement

of 10.8 cu. in. is used with the Universal and All-Weather

Systems.
AH Systems

Removal

1.
Purge the refrigerant from the system.

2.
Remove connector attaching bolt and connector. Seal

connector outlets.

3.
Disconnect electrical lead to clutch actuating coil.

4.
Loosen brace and pivot bolts and detach belt.

5. Remove the nuts and bolts attaching the compressor

brackets to the mounting bracket.

6. Before beginning any compressor disassembly, drain

and measure oil in the compressor. Check for

evidence of contamination to ..determine if remainder

of system requires servicing. Compressor Servicing

information is located in the Chassis Overhaul

Manual.

Installation

1.
li oil previously drained from the compressor upon

removal shows no evidence of contamination, replace

a like amount of fresh refrigeration oil into the com-

pressor before reinstallatLon. If it was necessary to

service the entire system because of excessive con-

tamination in the oil removed, install a full charge of

"fresh refrigeration oil in the compressor. (See

Checking Compressor Oil Charge under Checking

Oil)

2.
Position compressor on the mounting bracket and

install all nuts, bolts and lock washers.

3.
Install the connector assembly to the compressor

rear head, using new "O" rings.

4.
Connect the electrical lead to the coil and install

and adjust compressor belt.

5. Evacuate and charge the system.

6. Leak test the system and check for proper operation.
