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.

COMPRESSOR AND MAGNETIC
CLUTCH
ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. INSPECT COMPRESSOR FOR METALLIC SOUND
Check there is abnormal metallic sound from the compressor
when the A/C switch is ON.
If abnormal metallic sound is heard, replace the compressor as-
sembly.
2. INSPECT REFRIGERANT PRESSURE
(See page AC-3)
3. INSPECT VISUALLY FOR LEAKAGE OF REFRIGER-
ANT
Using a gas leak detector, check for leakage of refrigerant.
If there is any leakage, replace the compressor assembly.
4. INSPECT COMPRESSOR LOCK SENSOR RESIS-
TANCE
(a) Disconnect the connector.
(b) Measure resistance between terminals 1 and 2.
Standard resistance: 65 - 125 W at 20 °C (68 °F)
If resistance is not as specified, replace the sensor.
5. CHECK FOR LEAKAGE OF GREASE FROM CLUTCH
BEARING
6. CHECK FOR SIGNS OF OIL ON PRESSURE PLATE OR
ROTOR
7. INSPECT MAGNETIC CLUTCH BEARING FOR NOISE
(a) Start engine.
(b) Check for abnormal noise from the compressor when the
A/C switch is OFF.
If abnormal noise is being emitted, replace the magnetic clutch.
8. INSPECT MAGNETIC CLUTCH OPERATION
(a) Disconnect the connector.
(b) Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal
4 and the negative (-) lead to the body ground.
(c) Check that the magnetic clutch energized.
If operation is not as specified, replace the magnetic clutch.
