Disconnect contact breaker lead from coil.
Operate storter,watching the pressure g”“ge :
the pressure should rise steadily and then
appear to stobilize.

5. Checking cut-out :
a) Checking cut-out ~TPSSU~~~ : Start engine.
With pressure regulator bleed screw tightened,
examine the pressure gauge.
When pressure stops rising, reading indicates
maximum cut-out pressure.
This pressure m”st be equal to
170 t’5 bars
(2466 ?,73 p:i ). When the c”t-o”t pressure is obtained allow
the engine to nrn for a few minutes in order
to stabilize pressure.
Stop engine.
Examine the pressure gauge and note the fall
in pressure for the next 3
minutes. If the fall in’pressure exceeds
10 bark 4 145psi) check seai of plug D and repeat, the test sequence.
If the result of test is the some, the pressure
regulator is defective,
Replace it 01 repair it.
When cutout takes place, slightly slacken
pressure regulator bleed screw.
The pressure should fall gently then rise (IS~.
soon (IS the HP pump begins to operate.
The minimum reading indicated on tbe pressure
gauge corresponds to the cut-in pressure.
This pressure must be 145 +,5 bars
(2103 ?,73
psi ). If these cut-in and cot-out pressures do
not lie within the given tolerances, check the
pressure regulator.
c) Slacken the pressure regulator bleed screw.
d) Remove plug D and connect HP inlet pipe ( 1)
to safety valve.

a) It is imperative to wear goggles
b ) Do not smoke R 12 fluid,in the presence of a flame turns into a toxic gas.
c) Never heat any section of the refrigerating system.
d) Never switch on the refrigerating system if both electric cooling fans are not connected
e ) Never check the compressor oil level without first having drained the refrigerating circuit.
f ) Never use any oil other than TOTAL (( LUNARIA 25 H, SUNISO No 5 or TEXACO CAPELLA (( E 1) grade 500
g ) Never use refrigerating fluid other than R.12.
NOTE Refrigerating fluid may- be sold under different names : FORANE (( 12 )), FLUGENE (( 12 ))! FREON ((12 ))
( the most important feature is the number (( 12 H which defines the fluid’s properties ).
IMPORTANT NOTES
A. The compressor
MUST NEVER b e switched on when the circuit has been drained of its refrigerating fluid.
during work ‘being carried out in the workshop. for example,. Indeed, in these conditions,
the compressor
would be functioning in air, and would deteriorate rapidly.
‘Consequently, in case of an exchange of compressor necessitating draining the system of its refrigerating
fluid, in a workshop not equipped with the necessary equipment for refilling ( SOGEV equipment )
IT IS
IMPERATIVE,
before driving the vehicle to another workshop equipped with the special equipment. to carry
out the following
- To leave the blanking plugs on the compressor. in order to avoid ingress of air ( the new compressor contains
refrigerating fluid ).
- To blank the intake and outlet hoses and to fix them tempororily.
- Todisconnect the supply lead to the electro-magnetic compressor clutch
( lead with white sleeve ).
NOTE : We remind you that if the circuit has been in contact with the atmosphere, it is necessary to replace
the de-watering tank, and the compressor oil.
B. Slight oil seepage is permissible at the front bearing of the air-conditioning compressor.
Compressors showing such a seepage, and being replaced OS a result, will not be accepted under warranty.
Ill. TIGHTENING TORQUES FOR THE UNIONS IN THE CIRCUIT :
( Oil the union threads with TOTAL LUNARIA 25 before fitting )
On the compressor Intake union : 5/8” 3.45 to 4.3,daNm ( 25 to 31 ft.lb )
Outlet union l/2”’ 2.9 to 3.75 daNm ( 21 to 27 ft.lb )
On the condenser Input union l/2” 4.85 to 5.5 daNm ( 35 to 39 3/4 ft.lb )
Output union : 3/ 8” 2.7 to 3.3 daNm ( 19 l/2 to 23 3/4 ft.lb )
On-de-watering tank : Unions : 3/8” 2.1 to 2.5daNm ( 15 l/4 to 18 ft.lb )
On : Input union evaporator : 3/8” 2.1 to 2.5 daNm ( 15 l/4 to 18 ft.lb )
Output union 5/8” 3.45 to 4.3 daNm ( 25 to 31 ft.lb )

NOTE This check con only be carried out after having
drained the circuit. If not, dangerous splashing of oil
and refrigerating fluid occur. 0vrs rowed vd. I/,<’

c) Remove gouge MR ‘630-73/ 15 and position the plug
with its seal.
3. Create a V(IEYU~ in the circuit :
NOTE This consists in creotinq a vacuum as complete
as possible in the circuit. to eliminate (by evaporation j
any trace of water which
would hinder the operation of
the refrigerating system.
- In the case of replacing the compressor. fully unscrew
screws ( 2 1 and ( 3 1 then screw in screw ( 2 ) two
turns after having connected flexible pipe ( 4) to the
intake valve.
* In other cases see paras. 1 and 2
a) Connect flexible pipe ( 4 i to the intake valve and
flexible pipe ( 6 1 from the vacuum pump to top ( 5 1.
b) Fully unscrew screw ( 3 1.
c ) Open tap [ 5) and switch on vacuum pump. following
the instructions on the S.O.G.E.V.instruction sheet.
di Run pump for a minimum
of 45 mins. Close tap ( 5)
and disconnect pipe ( 6 1 from it.
4. Refill the circuit :
a) Prepare the <( PRESTOGAZ n refill
Unscrew cf Presto-vanneu union ( 7 ) from tap ( 8 1
and connect it to the refill for this. make sure
I forcing if necessary ) that clip on union ( 7) is
fully clipped onto ridge of refill The threaded hole
of the o Presto-vanne )a union must be in line with
the refill valve.
NOTE It is advisable to tighten the clip on the
o Presto-wane >) union. if the union has already
been used for refilling.
