REPLACEMENT
1. REMOVE BACK DOOR STAY
(a) Slide the clip, then remove the back door stay from the
back door.
HINT:
While supporting the back door with your hand, remove the
back door stay.
(b) Slide the clip, then remove the bolts and back door stay
from the body.
2. IF NECESSARY, REPLACE BACK DOOR STAY
NOTICE:
When handling the back door stay.
Do not disassemble the back door stay because the
cylinder is filled with pressurized gas.
If the back door stay is to be replaced, drill a 2.0 ± 3.0
mm (0.079 ± 0.118 in.) hole in the bottom of the back
door stay as shown in the illustration to completely
release the high±pressure gas before disposing of it.
When drilling, chips may fly out so work carefully.
The gas is colorless, odorless and non±toxic.
When working, handle the back door stay carefully.
Never score or scratch the exposed part of the piston
rod, and never allow paint or oil to get on it.
Do not turn the piston rod and cylinder with the back
door stay fully extended.
3. INSTALL BACK DOOR STAY
(a) Install the bolts and back door stay to the body.
Torque: 19 N´m (195 kgf´cm, 14 ft´lbf)
(b) Install the bolts and back door stay to the back door.
Torque: 19 N´m (195 kgf´cm, 14 ft´lbf)

PRECAUTION
1. DO NOT HANDLE REFRIGERANT IN AN ENCLOSED
AREA OR NEAR AN OPEN FLAME
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 OPEN
FLAME
5. BE CAREFUL NOT TO DROP CONTAINER OR 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.
Necessary care should be taken to avoid this.
7. DO NOT OPEN PRESSURE MANIFOLD VALVE WHILE
COMPRESSOR IS OPERATING
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 only the 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.
