Compressor Service
* PLEASE READ THIS FIRST *
CAUTION: When discharging air conditioning system, use only approved
refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment. Make every attempt
to avoid discharging refrigerant into the atmosphere.
ISOLATING COMPRESSOR
NOTE: Only compressors with stem-type service valves can be
isolated.
1) Connect service gauge set to the compressor service valves
and open compressor valves slightly (turn in clockwise). Start engine
and operate air conditioning. Slowly turn compressor suction valve
clockwise toward closed (front-seated) position.
2) When suction pressure is reduced to zero or less, turn off
engine and compressor and quickly turn suction valve stem in to full
front-seated position. Suction pressure should be slightly above zero.
Turn discharge valve into front-seated position.
3) To check oil level, slowly open compressor crankcase plug
to relieve any remaining pressure. After oil level is corrected, cap
service gauge ports on both valves. Back-seat suction service valve to
allow refrigerant to enter compressor. Open discharge valve halfway.
4) Loosen discharge service valve cap, allowing refrigerant
pressure to force air out of compressor. Back-seat service valve and
tighten cap. Compressor is now ready for operation.
REFRIGERANT OIL
Only new, pure, moisture-free refrigerant oil should be used
in the air conditioning system. This oil is highly refined and
dehydrated to a point where moisture content is less than 10 parts per
million. The oil container must be tightly closed at all times when
not in use, or moisture will be absorbed into the refrigerant oil from
the air.
DISCHARGING SYSTEM PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION: When discharging air conditioning system, use only approved
refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment. Make every attempt
to avoid discharging refrigerant into the atmosphere.
If compressor has stem-type service valves, it can be
isolated and removed without discharging entire system. Otherwise,
discharge system completely using approved refrigerant

AIR CONDITIONING & HEAT
A/C System Precautions
* PLEASE READ THIS FIRST *
CAUTION: When discharging air conditioning system, use only approved
refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment. Make every attempt
to avoid discharging refrigerant into the atmosphere.
BEFORE OPENING THE SYSTEM
Before disconnecting any lines or fittings, the system must
be completely discharged using approved refrigerant recovery/recycling
equipment.
DISCHARGING A/C SYSTEM
NOTE: Recent findings by the EPA indicate that R-11, R-12 and R-113
are harmful to the Earths' protective Ozone layer. Make every
attempt possible, to avoid discharging R-11, R-12 or R-113
into the atmosphere.
1) Remove service valve caps and install gauges. For high
side gauge hose, Adapter (D81L-19703-A) must be used to connect to
high side service valve.
2) Place open end of center hose in garage exhaust outlet or
in a well ventilated area. Slightly open low side gauge valve and let
refrigerant escape slowly without loosing refrigerant oil.
3) When system is nearly discharged, using approved
refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment, open high side gauge valve
to release any pressure trapped in compressor. Close valves
immediately after discharging to prevent entry of moisture.
DISCONNECTING LINES & FITTINGS
1) After system is discharged, using approved refrigerant
recovery/recycling equipment, carefully clean entire area around
coupling nut to prevent dirt entering system. Always use two wrenches
to avoid twisting or distorting lines and fittings (hold fitting with
one wrench while loosening coupling nut with second wrench).
2) Cap or plug all LINES and FITTINGS immediately to prevent
entry of air and moisture into system. Do not remove these caps until
connections are being made.
COMPONENT REPLACEMENT
When components are replaced, system oil level must be
adjusted. Add refrigeration oil to replacement component. See
