Transportation (DOT) approved, DOT 4BW or DOT 4BA refrigerant
containers.
7) Never overfill refrigerant containers. The safe filling
level of a refrigerant container MUST NOT exceed 60 percent of the
container's gross weight rating. Store refrigerant containers at
temperature less than 125
F (52C).
8) R-134a refrigerant is sold and stored in 30- or 50-pound
Light Blue containers, while Freon (R-12) is stored in White colored
containers.
9) Refrigerant R-12 and R-134a must never be mixed, as they
and their desiccants and lubricants are not compatible. If
refrigerants are mixed, system cross-contamination or A/C system
component failure may occur. Always use separate servicing and
refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment.
10) Follow equipment manufacturer instructions of all service
equipment to be used. The Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), provided
by refrigerant manufacturer/suppliers, contains valuable information
regarding the safe handling of refrigerants.
11) Before connecting refrigerant lines always lubricate "O"
rings using appropriate refrigerant oil.
12) Always plug or cap A/C system refrigerant lines and
component connections as soon as possible to protect components from
moisture and/or dust. DO NOT remove plugs or caps until ready to
install component.
13) Always use a back-up wrench when tightening or loosening
fittings.
IDENTIFYING R-134a SYSTEMS & COMPONENTS
To prevent refrigerant cross-contamination, use following
methods to identify R-134a based systems and components.
Fittings & "O" Rings
All R-134a based A/C systems use 1/2" - 16ACME threaded
fittings (identifiable by square threads) and quick-connect service
couplings. See Fig. 1. Besides the use of these fittings, most
manufacturers will use Green colored "O" rings in R-134a systems.

Underhood A/C Specification Labels
Most R-134a based systems will be identified through the use

Other Means Of Identification
Refrigerant R-134a, when viewed through a sight glass, may
have a "milky" appearance due to the mixture of refrigerant and
lubricating oil. As the refrigerant and oil DO NOT exhibit a "clear"
sight glass on a properly charged A/C system, most R-134a systems have
no sight glass.
REFRIGERANT OILS
NOTE: Use ONLY the specified oil for the appropriate system or A/C
compressor. Always check vehicle underhood A/C specification
label or A/C compressor label before adding refrigerant oil
to A/C compressor/system. See Figs. 2 and 3. Always use
refrigerant oil specified on vehicle underhood A/C
specification label if different from the following list.
Refrigerant R-12 based systems use mineral oil, while R-134a
systems use Polyalkylene Glycol (PAG) oils. Using a mineral oil based
lubricant with R-134a will result in A/C compressor failure due to
lack of proper lubrication. The following R-134a refrigerant oils are
currently specified:
Use DENSO/ND-Oil 8 refrigerant oil on Nippondenso
compressors. Use SUN PAG 56 refrigerant oil on Sanden compressors.
NOTE: PAG oils absorb moisture very rapidly, 2.3-5.6 percent by
weight, as compared to a mineral oil absorption rate of
0.005 percent by weight.
SERVICE EQUIPMENT
A/C systems using R-134a refrigerant and PAG lubricants
cannot use R-12 refrigerant or mineral oil lubricants. R-134a
refrigerant is NOT compatible or interchangeable with R-12
refrigerant. Separate sets of hoses, manifold gauge sets and
recovery/recycling equipment are required to service the different
systems. This is necessary to avoid cross-contaminating and damaging
A/C system. A single set of A/C service equipment cannot be cleaned
thoroughly enough to be used with both types of refrigerant.
All equipment used to service A/C systems using R-134a must
be U.L. listed and certified to meet SAE standard J2210. The service
hoses on the manifold gauge set must have manual (turn wheel) or
automatic back-flow valves at the service port connector ends. This
will prevent refrigerant from being released into the atmosphere.
For identification purposes, R-134a service hoses must have a
Black stripe along its length and be clearly labeled SAE J2196/R-134a.
The low pressure test hose is Blue with a Black stripe. The high
pressure test hose is Red with a Black stripe, and the center test
hose is Yellow with a Black stripe.
R-134a manifold gauge sets can be identified by one or all of
the following: Labeled FOR USE WITH R-134a on set, labeled HFC-134a or
R-134a on gauge face, or by a Light Blue color on gauge face. In
addition, pressure/temperature scales on R-134a gauge sets are
different from R-12 manifold gauge sets.
SYSTEM SERVICE VALVES
SCHRADER-TYPE VALVES
NOTE: Although similar in construction and operation to a tire
valve, NEVER replace a Schrader-type valve with a tire valve.

same axle to eliminate uneven braking behavior. Always wash drums
after servicing or before installing.

3) Tighten lock nut, and ensure brake pedal height is within
specification. Start engine to evacuate brake booster chamber. Stop
engine, and apply brake several times to remove vacuum from brake
booster.
4) Using hand pressure, depress brake pedal to measure free
play before resistance is felt. Free play distance for all models is
0.10-0.31" (3-8 mm). If distance is not within specification, it is
probably caused by excessive play between the brake pedal arm and the
clevis pin. Check and replace as necessary.
5) Start engine and apply 110 lbs. (490 N) of pressure to
brake pedal. With the carpet pulled back, measure the distance between
the brake pedal and the floorboard. If the distance is not 3.1-3.5"
(80-90 mm) check for air in brake hydraulic system, brake adjustment
or defective parking brake component or adjustment. Adjust or repair
as necessary.
LOAD-SENSING PROPORTIONING VALVE (LSPV)
Montero
1) Park vehicle on level surface. Remove excess weight from
vehicle. Make sure the lever is all the way towards the valve side.
Measure length of entire spring. See Fig. 1.
If spring length is not within specification, adjust spring
support until correct length is obtained. See LSPV SPRING LENGTH
table.
