Nickel Metal Hydride Battery ReplacementNBGI0006S06CONSULT-II contains a nickel metal hydride battery. When replacing the battery obey the following:
WARNING:
Replace the nickel metal hydride battery with Genuine CONSULT-II battery only. Use of another bat-
tery may present a risk of fire or explosion. The battery may present a fire or chemical burn hazard if
mistreated. Do not recharge, disassemble of dispose of in fire.
Keep the battery out of reach of children and discard used battery conforming to the local regulations.

CAUTION:
When replacing or cleaning refrigerant cycle components, observe the following.
IWhen the compressor is removed, store it in the same position as it is when mounted on the car.
Failure to do so will cause lubricant to enter the low pressure chamber.
IWhen connecting tubes, always use a torque wrench and a back-up wrench.
IAfter disconnecting tubes, immediately plug all openings to prevent entry of dirt and moisture.
IWhen installing an air conditioner in the vehicle, connect the pipes as the final stage of the opera-
tion. Do not remove the seal caps of pipes and other components until just before required for
connection.
IAllow components stored in cool areas to warm to working area temperature before removing seal
caps. This prevents condensation from forming inside A/C components.
IThoroughly remove moisture from the refrigeration system before charging the refrigerant.
IAlways replace used O-rings.
IWhen connecting tube, apply lubricant to circle of the O-rings shown in illustration. Be careful not
to apply lubricant to threaded portion.
Lubricant name: Nissan A/C System Oil Type S
Part number: KLH00-PAGS0
IO-ring must be closely attached to dented portion of tube.
IWhen replacing the O-ring, be careful not to damage O-ring and tube.
IConnect tube until you hear it click, then tighten the nut or bolt by hand until snug. Make sure that
the O-ring is installed to tube correctly.
IAfter connecting line, conduct leak test and make sure that there is no leakage from connections.
When the gas leaking point is found, disconnect that line and replace the O-ring. Then tighten
connections of seal seat to the specified torque.
RHA861F
Precautions for Servicing CompressorNBHA0005IPlug all openings to prevent moisture and foreign matter from entering.
IWhen the compressor is removed, store it in the same position as it is when mounted on the car.
IWhen replacing or repairing compressor, follow ªMaintenance of Lubricant Quantity in Compres-
sorº exactly. Refer to HA-146.
IKeep friction surfaces between clutch and pulley clean. If the surface is contaminated, with
lubricant, wipe it off by using a clean waste cloth moistened with thinner.
IAfter compressor service operation, turn the compressor shaft by hand more than five turns in
both directions. This will equally distribute lubricant inside the compressor. After the compressor
is installed, let the engine idle and operate the compressor for one hour.
IAfter replacing the compressor magnet clutch, apply voltage to the new one and check for normal
operation.
