PFP:KLG00
Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in CompressorEJS000TH
The lubricant in the compressor circulates through the system with the refrigerant. Add lubricant to compres-
sor when replacing any component or after a large gas leakage occurred. It is important to maintain the speci-
fied amount.
If lubricant quantity is not maintained properly, the following malfunctions may result:
●Lack of lubricant: May lead to a seized compressor
●Excessive lubricant: Inadequate cooling (thermal exchange interference)

LUBRICANT RETURN OPERATION
Adjust the lubricant quantity according to the test group shown below.
1. CHECK LUBRICANT RETURN OPERATION
Can lubricant return operation be performed?
●A/C system works properly.
●There is no evidence of a large amount of lubricant leakage.
YES or NO
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> GO TO 3.
2. PERFORM LUBRICANT RETURN OPERATION, PROCEEDING AS FOLLOWS:
1. Start engine, and set the following conditions:
–Test condition
Engine speed: Idling to 1,200 rpm
A/C or AUTO switch: ON
Blower speed: Max. position
Temp. control: Optional [Set so that intake air temperature is 25 to 30°C (77 to 86°F).]
Intake position: Recirculation (REC)
2. Perform lubricant return operation for about 10 minutes.
3. Stop engine.
CAUTION:
If excessive lubricant leakage is noted, do not perform the lubricant return operation.
>> GO TO 3.
3. CHECK COMPRESSOR
Should the compressor be replaced?
YES or NO
YES >> Go to AT C - 2 5 , "LUBRICANT ADJUSTING PROCEDURE FOR COMPRESSOR REPLACE-
MENT" .
NO >> GO TO 4.With gasoline engine
(CWV-615M Compressor)With diesel engine

Inspection
Clutch disc
If the contact surface shows signs of damage due to excessive heat,
replace clutch disc and pulley.
Pulley
Check the appearance of the pulley assembly. If the contact surface
of pulley sows signs of excessive grooving, replace clutch disc and
pulley. The contact surfaces of the pulley assembly should be
cleaned with a suitable solvent before reinstallation.
Coil
Check coil for loose connection or cracked insulation.
INSTALLATION
With Gasoline Engine (CWV-615M Compressor)
1. Install the field coil.
Be sure to align the coil's pin with the hole in the compressor's
front head.
2. Install the field coil harness clip using a screwdriver.
3. Install the pulley assembly using the installer and a hand press,
and then install the snap ring using snap ring pliers.
