Leak Detector

Tool J-6084 (fig. 43) is a propane gas-burning torch

which is used to locate a leak in any part of the system.

Refrigerant gas drawn into the sampling tube attached to

the torch will cause the torch flame to change color in

proportion to the size of the leak. Propane gas fuel

cylinders used with the torch are readily available

commercially throughout the country.

CAUTION: Do not use lighted detector in any

place where combustible or explosive gases,

dusts or vapors may be present;

Operating Detector

1.
Open control valve only until a low hiss of gas is

heard, then light gas at opening in chimney.

2.
Adjust flame until desired volume is obtained. This

is most satisfactory when blue flame is approxi-

mately 3/8" above reactor plate. The reaction plate

will quickly heat to a cherry red.

3.
Explore for leaks by moving the end of the sampling

hose around possible leak points in the system. Do

not pinch or kink hose.

NOTE: Since R-12 is heavier than air, it is

good practice to place open end of sampling tube

immediately below point being tested, partic-

ularly in cases of small leaks.

CAUTION: Do not breathe the fumes that are

produced by the burning of R-12 gas in the de-

tector flame, since such fumes can be toxic in

large concentrations of R?»12.

4.
Watch for color changes. The color of the flame

which passes through the reaction plate will change

to yellow when sampling hose draws in very small

CHIMNEY

REACTION PLATE

BURNER HEAD

43—Leak Detector
leaks of R-12. Large leaks will be indicated by a

change in color to a vivid purplish-blue. When the

sampling hose passes the leak, the flame will clear

to an almost colorless pale-blue again. If the flame

remains yellow when unit is removed from leak,

insufficient air is being drawn in or the reaction

plate is dirty.

NOTE: A refrigerant leak in the high pressure

side of the system may be more easily detected

when, if possible, the system is in operation. A

leak on the low pressure side may be most

easily detected after the engine has been shut

off for several minutes to allow system pres-

sures to equalize. This particularly applies to

the front seal.

VACUUM PUMP

A vacuum pump should be used for evacuating air and

moisture from the air conditioning system.

Vacuum pump, Tool J-5428, (fig.. 44) is available for

this purpose. It is used as a component part of the

Charging Station J-8393, described previously. The fol-

lowing precautions should be observed relative to tbe

operation and maintenance of this pump.

' • Make sure dust cap on discharge outlet of vacuum

pump is removed before operating.

• Keep all openings capped when not in use to avoid

moisture being drawn into the system.

• Oil should be changed after every 250 hours of nor-

mal operation.

To change oil, simply unscrew hex nut located on

back side of pump, tilt backward and drain out oil

(fig. 44). Recharge with 8 ounces of vacuum pump

oil.
If you desire to flush out the pump, use this

same type clean oil. Do not use solvent.

NOTE: Improper lubrication will shorten the

life of pump.

• If this pump is subjected to extreme or prolonged

cold, allow it to remain indoors until oil has reached

approximate room temperature. Failure to warm oil

will result in a blown fuse.

• A five ampere time delay cartridge fuse has been

installed in the common line to protect the windings

of the compressor. The fuse will blow if an ex-

cessive load is placed on the pump. In the event the

fuse is blown, replace with a five ampere time delay

fuse - do not use a substitute fuse as it will result in

damage to the starting windings.

• If the pump is being utilized to evacuate a burnt-out

system, a filter must be connected to the intake

fitting to prevent any sludge from contaminating the

working parts, which will result in malfunction of the

pump.

• Do not use the vacuum pump as an air compressor.

AVAILABILITY OF REFRIGERANT-12

Refrigerant-12 is available through Parts Stock in 25

lb.
drums and in 15 oz. disposable cans. Valves are

available for
the"
disposable cans, which may be used as

individual cans or as a group of up to four cans (fig. 45).

Tool J-6272 is used with one through four cans. The

use of the four-can fixture makes it possible to charge

the system with a known quantity of refrigerant without

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Cruise Master is a speed control system which

employs engine manifold vacuum to power the throttle

Servo unit. The Servo moves the throttle when speed

adjustment is necessary by receiving a varying amount

of bleed air from the Regulator unit. The Regulator

varies the amount of bleed air through a valve system

which is linked to a speedometer-like mechanism. The

speedometer cable from the transmission drives the

Regulator, and a cable from the Regulator drives the

instrument panel speedometer. The. engagement of the
Regulator unit is controlled by an Engagement Switch

located at the end of the turn signal lever. Two brake

release switches are provided: an Electric Switch dis-

engages the Regulator unit and a Vacuum Switch de-

creases the vacuum in the Servo unit to quickly return

the throttle to idle position.

The operation of each unit of the system and the

operation of the entire system under various circum-

stances is described below. Figure 1 shows the location

of the system components within the vehicle-

COMPONENT OPERATION

ENGAGEMENT SWITCH

This switch, located within the turn signal knob, has

three positions. In the fully released position, the switch

passes current through resistance wire to effect a "hold

in" magnetic field in the Regulator solenoid. This cur-

rent is sufficient only to hold the solenoid in place once

it has been actuated by the "pull in" circuit. Depressing

the button partially allows current to flow to the Regu-

lator solenoid at full voltage which causes the solenoid

to pull in. Depressing the button fully opens the circuit

to both the resistance and standard solenoid feed wires

and the solenoid becomes de-activated.

During vehicle operation the three switch positions

have the following functions:

Released

a. System not engaged: No function of the system

will occur although a small current is flowing

through the solenoid via the resistance wire (at

vehicle speeds over 20 mph).

b.
System engaged: The small current flowing

through the resistance wire is holding the solenoid

in the engaged position.

Fig.
2 - Cruise Master Engagement Switch
Partially Depressed

Full voltage is applied to the solenoid (vehicle speed

over 20 mph) which sets the Regulator to maintain the

vehicle speed at the time of Regulator engagement.

Fully Depressed

No electricity flows to the solenoid and the Regulator

is inactive. This position is used by the driver when he

desires to raise or lower his controlled speed. He may

accelerate to his new speed, press the button fully (Regu-

lator releases previously set speed) and release the but-

ton. Upon releasing the button, it passes through the

partially depressed position and the solenoid is "pulled

in", then into released position which provides "hold in"-

current. The driver may also press the button fully with

no pressure on the accelerator pedal. In this case the

regulator releases control of the throttle which returns

to idle and the car slows. When the button is released

the solenoid is pulled in and held in respectively and the

regulator resumes speed control at the speed of the

vehicle during the moment of button release (at vehicle

speeds over 20 mph).
