0 Because HFC 134A is fully recycleable it may be 'cleaned' by the recovery equipment and re-used following
removal from a system.
0 Leak tests should only be carried out with an electronic analyzer which is dedicated to HFC 134A. Never use a CFC 12 analyzer or naked flame type.
0 Do not attempt to 'guess' the amount of refrigerant in a system, always recover and recharge with the correct
charge weight. In this context do not depress the charge or discharge port valves to check for the presence of
refrigerant.
14.1.3 Handling Lubricating Oil
0 Avoid breathing lubricant mist, it may cause irritation to your respiratory system.
0 Always decant fresh oil from a sealed container and do not leave oil exposed to the atmosphere for any reason
other than to fill or empty a system. PAG oil is very hygroscopic (absorbs water) and will rapidly become con-
taminated by atmospheric moisture.
PAG oil is
NOTcompatible with previously used mineral based oils and must NEVER be mixed (Fig. 1). Do not
re
-use oil when it has been separated from refrigerant, following a recovery cycle. Dispose of used oil safely.
14.1.4 System Maintenance
0 When depressurizing a system do not vent
refrigerant directlyto atmosphere, always use Jaguar
approved recovery equipment.
0 Always decant compressor oil from a sealed con- tainer and do not leave oil exposed to the atmosphere
for any reason other than to fill or empty
a system.
PAG oil is very hygroscopic and will rapidly become
contaminated by atmospheric moisture.
0 Plug pipes and units immediately after disconnection
and only unplug immediately priorto connection. Do
not leave the system open to atmosphere.
0 It is not necessary to renew the receiver drier when- ever the system has been 'opened' as previously ad-
vised - see note this page. However,if a unit or part
of the system is left open for more than five minutes,
it may be advisable to renew the receiver drier. This
guidance is based on
U.K average humidity levels;
therefore, locations with lower humidity will be less
critical to moisturecontamination of the unit.
It must
be stressed that there is not
a 'safe' period for workto
be carried out in: ALWAYS plug pipes and units im-
mediately after disconnection and only remove plugs
immediately prior to connection.
J82-387
Fin. 1
U: The receiver / drier MUST be renewed if the compressor has failed or if it is suspected that debris may be in
the system.
0 If replacement parts are supplied without transit plugs and seals DO NOT use the parts. Return them to your
supplier.
0 Diagnostic equipment for pressure, mass and volume should be calibrated regularly and certified by a third
party organization.
0 Use extreme care when handling and securing aluminium fittings, always use a backing spanner and take
special care when handling the evaporator.
0 Use only the correct or recommended tools for the job and apply the manufacturer's torque specifications.

Note: This note only applies to VI2 engines.
When renewing spark plugs, apply silicon grease
(TBA) to the spark plug and coil terminals of the ignition
cable. This will ensure that the terminal covers remain supple throughout their service life, thus maintaining
a good contact and preventing HT leakage.
