HFC-134a (R-134a) Service Tools and
Equipment
=NLHA0120Never mix HFC-134a refrigerant and/or its specified lubricant with CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant and/or its lubri-
cant.
Separate and non-interchangeable service equipment must be used for handling each type of refrigerant/
lubricant.
Refrigerant container fittings, service hose fittings and service equipment fittings (equipment which handles
refrigerant and/or lubricant) are different between CFC-12 (R-12) and HFC-134a (R-134a). This is to avoid
mixed use of the refrigerants/lubricant.
Adapters that convert one size fitting to another must never be used: refrigerant/lubricant contamination will
occur and compressor failure will result.

ments of HFC-134a (R-134a) recycling equipment or HFC-134a (R-134a) recovery equipment. If acci-

—Small leak *2
*1: If compressor is replaced, addition of lubricant is included in the table.
*2: If refrigerant leak is small, no addition of lubricant is needed.
Lubricant Adjustment Procedure for Compressor
Replacement
NLHA0160S02021. Discharge refrigerant into the refrigerant recovery/recycling
equipment. Measure lubricant discharged into the recovery/
recycling equipment.
2. Drain the lubricant from the“old”(removed) compressor into a
graduated container and recover the amount of lubricant
drained.
3. Drain the lubricant from the“new”compressor into a separate,
clean container.
4. Measure an amount of new lubricant installed equal to amount
drained from“old”compressor. Add this lubricant to“new”com-
pressor through the suction port opening.
5. Measure an amount of new lubricant equal to the amount
recovered during discharging. Add this lubricant to“new”com-
pressor through the suction port opening.
6. If the liquid tank also needs to be replaced, add an additional
5m!(0.2 Imp fl oz) of lubricant at this time.
Do not add this 5 m!(0.2 Imp fl oz) of lubricant if only
replacing the compressor.

SulphationNLSC0003S0201A battery will be completely discharged if it is left unattended
for a long time and the specific gravity will become less than
1.100. This may result in sulphation on the cell plates.
To determine if a battery has been“sulphated”, note its volt-
age and current when charging it. As shown in the figure, less
current and higher voltage are observed in the initial stage of
charging sulphated batteries.
A sulphated battery may sometimes be brought back into ser-
vice by means of a long, slow charge, 12 hours or more, fol-
lowed by a battery capacity test.
MEL042FA
SPECIFIC GRAVITY CHECKNLSC0003S031. Read hydrometer and thermometer indications at eye level.
2. Convert into specific gravity at 20°C (68°F).
Example:
+When electrolyte temperature is 35°C (95°F) and specific grav-
ity of electrolyte is 1.230, converted specific gravity at 20°C
(68°F) is 1.240.
+When electrolyte temperature is 0°C (32°F) and specific grav-
ity of electrolyte is 1.210, converted specific gravity at 20°C
(68°F) is 1.196.
