PRECAUTION
1. DO NOT HANDLE REFRIGERANT IN AN ENCLOSED
AREA OR WEAR EYE PROTECTION
2. ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION
3. BE CAREFUL NOT TO GET LIQUID REFRIGERANT IN
YOUR EYES OR ON YOUR SKIN
If liquid refrigerant gets in your eyes or on your skin.
(a) Wash the area with lots of cool water.
CAUTION:
Do not rub your eyes or skin.
(b) Apply clean petroleum jelly to the skin.
(c) Go immediately to a physician or hospital for professional
treatment.
4. NEVER HEAT CONTAINER OR EXPOSE IT TO NAKED
FLAME
5. BE CAREFUL NOT TO DROP CONTAINER AND NOT
TO APPLY PHYSICAL SHOCKS TO IT
6. DO NOT OPERATE COMPRESSOR WITHOUT
ENOUGH REFRIGERANT IN REFRIGERATION SYS-
TEM
If there is not enough refrigerant in the refrigerant system oil lu-
brication will be insufficient and compressor burnout may occur,
so that care to avoid this, necessary care should be taken.
7. DO NOT OPEN PRESSURE MANIFOLD VALVE WHILE
COMPRESSOR IS OPERATE
If the high pressure valve is opened, refrigerant flows in the re-
verse direction and could cause the charging cylinder to rup-
ture, so open and close the only low pressure valve.
8. BE CAREFUL NOT TO OVERCHARGE SYSTEM WITH
REFRIGERANT
If refrigerant is overcharged, it causes problems such as insuffi-
cient cooling, poor fuel economy, engine overheating etc.

1. INSPECT REFRIGERANT VOLUME
Observe the sight glass on the liquid tube.
Test conditions:

Running engine at 1,500 rpm

Blower speed control switch at ºHIº position

A/C switch ON

Temperature control dial at ºCOOLº position

Fully open the doors
ItemSymptomAmount of refrigerantRemedy
1Bubbles present in sight glassInsufficient*
(1) Check for gas leakage with gas leak de-
tector and repair if necessary
(2) Add refrigerant until bubbles disappear
2No bubbles present in sight glassNone, sufficient or too muchRefer item 3 and 4
3No temperature difference between com-
pressor inlet and outletEmpty or nearly empty
(1) Check for gas leakage with gas leak de-
tector and repair if necessary
(2) Add refrigerant until bubbles disappear
4Temperature between compressor inlet and
outlet is noticeably differentCorrect or too muchRefer to items 5 and 6
5Immediately after air conditioning is turned
off, refrigerant in sight glass stays clearToo much
(1) Discharge refrigerant
(2) Evacuate air and charge proper amount
or purified refrigerant
6When air conditioning is turned off, refriger-
ant foams and then stays clearCorrect±
*: Bubbles in the sight glass with ambient temperatures higher than usual can be considered normal if cooling
is sufficient.

2. INSPECT REFRIGERANT PRESSURE WITH MAN-
IFOLD GAUGE SET
This is a method in which the trouble is located by using a man-
ifold gauge set. Read the manifold gauge pressure when the
these conditions are established.
Test conditions:

Temperature at the air inlet with the switch set
at RECIRC is 30 ± 35 °C (86 ± 95 °F)

Engine running at 1500 rpm

Blower speed control switch at ºHIº position

Temperature control dial on ºCOOLº position
HINT:
It should be noted that the gauge indications may vary slightly
due to ambient temperature conditions.
(1) Normally functioning refrigeration system.
Gauge reading:
Low pressure side:
0.15 ± 0.25 MPa (1.5 ± 2.5 kgf/cm
2)
High pressure side:
1.37 ± 1.57 MPa (14 ± 16 kgf/cm
2)

Condition: Insufficient cooling
I01392
Condition: Insufficient cooling
NOTE : These gauge indica-
tions are shown when the
refrigeration system has
been opened and the refrig-
erant charged without vacu-
um purging.

it is dirty or insufficient
(2) Evacuate air and charge new

3. INSPECT IDLE±UP SPEED
(a) Warm up engine.
(b) Inspect idle±up speed when the these conditions are es-
tablished.

Warm up engine

Blower speed control switch at ºHIº position

A/C switch ON

Temperature control dial at ºCOOLº position
Magnetic clutch conditionIdle±up speed
Magnetic clutch not engaged700 ± 50 rpm
Magnetic clutch engaged700 ± 50 rpm
If idle speed is not as specified, check ISC valve and air intake
system.
4. INSPECT FOR LEAKAGE OF REFRIGERANT
(a) Perform in these conditions:

Stop engine.

Secure good ventilation (If not the gas leak detector
may react to volatile gases witch are not refrigerant,
such as evaporated gasoline and exhaust gas.)

Repeat the test 2 or 3 times.

Make sure that there is some refrigerant remaining
in the refrigeration system.
When compressor is OFF: approx. 392 ± 588 kPa
(4 ± 6 kgf/ cm
2, 57 ± 85 psi)
(b) Bring the gas leak detector close to the drain hose before
performing the test.
HINT:

After the blower motor stopped, leave the cooling unit for
more than 15 minutes.

Expose the gas leak detector sensor the under the drain
hose.

When bring the gas leak detector close to the drain hose,
make sure that the gas leak detector does not react to the
volatile gases.
If such reaction is unavoidable, the vehicle must be lifted up.
(c) If gas leak is not detected on the drain hose, remove the
blower resistor from the cooling unit. Then insert the gas
leak detector sensor into the unit and perform the test.
(d) Disconnect the connector and leave the pressure switch
for approx. 20 minutes. Then bring the gas leak detector
close to the pressure switch and perform the test.
(e) Bring the gas leak detector close to the refrigerant lines
and perform the test.

3. CHARGE REFRIGERANT INTO REFRIGERANT SYS-
TEM
If there is no leak after refrigerant leak check, charge the proper
amount of refrigerant into refrigeration system.
CAUTION:

Never run the engine when charging the system
through the high pressure side.

Do not open the low pressure hand valve when the
system is being charged with liquid refrigerant.
(a) Open the high pressure hand valve fully.
(b) Charge specified amount of refrigerant, then close the
high pressure hand valve.
HINT:
A fully charged system is indicated by the sight glass being free
of any bubbles.
(c) Charge partially refrigeration system with refrigerant.
(1) Set vehicle in these conditions:

Running engine at 1,500 rpm

Blower speed control set at ºHIº

Temperature control set at ºMAX. COOLº

Air inlet control set at ºRECIRCº

Fully open doors (Sliding roof: closed)
(2) Open the low pressure hand valve.
CAUTION:
Do not open the high pressure hand valve.
(d) Charge refrigerant until bubbles disappear and check the
pressure on the gauge through the sight glass.
