10. lnstall in the reverse order of removal. Make note of
the following items.
. lf you're installing a new compressor, drain all
the refrigerant oil from the removed compressor,
and measure its volume. Subtract the volume of
drained oil from '130m? 14 1/3 tl'o2,4 6 lmp'oz);
the result is the amount of oil you should drain
from the new compressor (through the suction
fifting).
. Replace the O-rings with new ones at each fit-
ting, and apply a thin coat of refrigerant oil
before installing them
NOTE: Be sure to use the right O-rings for HFC-
134a (R-134a) to avoid leakage
. Use refrigerant oil (SP-10) for R-134a Sanden and
Hadsys spiral type compressors only'
o To avoid contamination, do not return the oil to
the container once dispensed, and never mix it
with other refrigerant oils.
. lmmediatelY after using the oil, replace the cap
on the container, and seal it to avoid moisture
absorption.
. Do not spill the refrigerant oil on the vehicle; it
may damage the painu if the refrigerant oil con-
tacts the paint, wash it off immediately
. Adjust the Ay'C compressor belt (see page 22-43)
and the power steering pump belt (see section 17)'
. Charge the system (see page 22-46), and test its
oerformance (see Page 22-241
