+Do not use gasoline, kerosine, diesel fuel, gas oil, thinners or
solvents for cleaning skin.
+If skin disorders develop, obtain medical advice without delay.
+Where practicable, degrease components prior to handling.
+Where there is a risk of eye contact, eye protection should be
worn, for example, chemical goggles or face shields; in addi-
tion an eye wash facility should be provided.
Environmental Protection PrecautionsNJGI0001S0702Burning used engine oil in small space heaters or boilers can be
recommended only for units of approved design. The heating sys-
tem must meet the requirements of HM Inspectorate of Pollution for
small burners of less than 0.4 MW. If in doubt, check with the
appropriate local authority and/or manufacturer of the approved
appliance.
Dispose of used oil and used oil filters through authorized waste
disposal contractors to licensed waste disposal sites, or to the
waste oil reclamation trade. If in doubt, contact the local authority
for advice on disposal facilities.
It is illegal to pour used oil on to the ground, down sewers or drains,
or into water courses.
The regulations concerning the pollution vary between
regions.
PRECAUTIONS FOR FUELNJGI0001S08Gasoline EngineNJGI0001S0803Models with three way catalyst
Unleaded premium gasoline of at least 95 octane (RON)
If premium gasoline is not available, unleaded regular gaso-
line with an octane rating of 91 (RON) may be temporarily
used, but only under the following precautions:
+Have the fuel tank filled only partially with unleaded regu-
lar gasoline, and fill up with premium unleaded gasoline
as soon as possible.
+Avoid full throttle driving and abrupt acceleration.
CAUTION:
Do not use leaded gasoline. Using leaded gasoline will dam-
age the three way catalyst.
Diesel Engine*:NJGI0001S0804Diesel fuel of at least 50 cetane
* If two types of diesel fuel are available, use summer or winter
fuel properly according to the following temperature conditions.
+Above þ7ÉC (20ÉF) ... Summer type diesel fuel.
+Below þ7ÉC (20ÉF) ... Winter type diesel fuel.
CAUTION:
+Do not use home heating oil, gasoline, or other alternate
fuels in your diesel engine. The use of those can cause
engine damage.
+Do not use summer fuel at temperatures below þ7ÉC
(20ÉF). The cold temperatures will cause wax to form in the
fuel. As a result, it may prevent the engine from running
smoothly.
+Do not add gasoline or other alternate fuels to diesel fuel.
PRECAUTIONS FOR AIR CONDITIONINGNJGI0001S09Use an approved refrigerant recovery unit any time the air condi-
tioning system must be discharged. Refer to HA-78, ªHFC-134a
(R-134a) Service Procedureº for specific instructions.
PRECAUTIONS
Precautions (Cont'd)
GI-8

+When 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.
+Allow components stored in cool areas to warm to working area temperature before removing seal
caps. This prevents condensation from forming inside A/C components.
+Thoroughly remove moisture from the refrigeration system before charging the refrigerant.
+Always replace used O-rings.
+When 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 R for DKV-11G compressor
Part number: KLH00-PAGR0
Lubricant name: Nissan A/C System Oil Type S for CSV613 compressor
Part number: KLH00-PAGS0
+O-ring must be closely attached to dented portion of tube.
+When replacing the O-ring, be careful not to damage O-ring and tube.
+Connect 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.
+After 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 CompressorNJHA0116+Plug all openings to prevent moisture and foreign matter from entering.
+When the compressor is removed, store it in the same position as it is when mounted on the car.
+When replacing or repairing compressor, follow ªMaintenance of Lubricant Quantity in Compres-
sorº exactly. Refer to HA-80.
+Keep 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.
+After 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.
+After replacing the compressor magnet clutch, apply voltage to the new one and check for normal
operation.

Refrigeration System
REFRIGERATION CYCLENJHA0121Refrigerant FlowNJHA0121S01The refrigerant flows in the standard pattern, that is, through the compressor, the condenser, the liquid tank,
through the evaporator, and back to the compressor. The refrigerant evaporation through the evaporator coil
is controlled by an externally equalized expansion valve, located inside the heater & cooling unit.
Freeze ProtectionNJHA0121S02The compressor cycles go on and off to maintain the evaporator temperature within a specified range. When
the evaporator coil temperature falls below a specified point, the thermo control amplifier interrupts the com-
pressor operation. When the evaporator coil temperature rises above the specification, the thermo control
amplifier allows compressor operation.
Refrigerant System ProtectionNJHA0121S03Refrigerant Pressure SensorNJHA0121S0303The refrigerant system is protected against excessively high or low pressures by the refrigerant pressure
sensor, located on the liquid tank. If the system pressure rises above, or falls below the specifications, the
refrigerant pressure sensor detects the pressure inside the refrigerant line and sends the voltage signal to the
ECM. ECM makes the A/C relay go OFF and stops the compressor when pressure on the high pressure side
detected by refrigerant pressure sensor is over about 2,746 kPa (27.5 bar, 28 kg/cm
2, 398 psi) or below about
137 kPa (1.37 bar, 1.4 kg/cm2, 20 psi).
Dual-pressure Switch
NJHA0121S0304The refrigerant system is protected against excessively high or low pressures by the dual-pressure switch,
located on the liquid tank. If the pressure falls out of specifications, the switch opens to interrupt compressor
operation.
Pressure Relief Valve
NJHA0121S0302The refrigerant system is also protected by a pressure relief valve, located in the rear head of the compres-
sor. When the pressure of refrigerant in the system increases to an abnormal level [more than 3,727 kPa (37.3
bar, 38 kg/cm
2, 540 psi)], the release port on the pressure relief valve automatically opens and releases
refrigerant into the atmosphere.

Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in
Compressor
NJHA0160The lubricant in the compressor circulates through the system with
the refrigerant. Add lubricant to compressor when replacing any
component or after a large gas leakage occurred. It is important to
maintain the specified amount.
If lubricant quantity is not maintained properly, the following mal-
functions may result:
+Lack of lubricant: May lead to a seized compressor
+Excessive lubricant: Inadequate cooling (thermal exchange
interference)
