Compressor Thermal Protector
Replacement
1. Remove the bolt, the ground terminal (A), and the
holder (B). Disconnect the field coil connector (C).
then remove the thermal protector (D).
Replace the thermal protector (A) with a new one,
and apply silicone sealant (B) to the bottom of the
thermal Drotector.

Remove the relief valve (A) and the O-ring (B). Plug
the opening to keep foreign mafter from entering
the system and the compressor oil from running
out.

Clean the mating surfaces.
Install a new O-ring on the relief valve, and apply a
thin coat of refrigerant oil to the O-ring.
Remove the plug, and install and tighten the relief
valve.
Charge the system (see page 21-55).

5.lnstallthe condenser in the reverse order of
removal, and note these items.
. lf you're installing a newcondenser, add
refrigerant oil (KElHlN SP- 10) lsee page 21'6).. Replace the O-rings with new ones at each fitting,
and apply a thin coat of refrigerant oil before
installing them. Be sure to use the correct O-rings
for HFC-134a (R-'134a)to avoid leakage.. lmmediately after using the oil, reinstallthe cap
on the container, and seal it to avoid moisture
absorption.. Do not spillthe refrigerant oil onthevehicle;it
may damage the paint. lf the refrigerant oil
contacts the paint, wash it off immediately.. Be careful not to damage the radiator or the
condenser fins when installing the condenser.. Charge the system (see page 21-55).

Refrigerant Recovery
Air conditioning refrigerant or lubricant vapor
can irritate your eyes, nose. or throat.
Be careful when connecting service equipment.
Do not breathe refrigerant or vapor
Use only service equipment that is U.L.-listed and is
certified to meet the requirements of SAE J2210 to
remove HFC-134a (R-134a) from the air conditioning
system.
lf accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate the
work area before resuming service
Additional health and safety information may be
obtained from the refrigerant and lubricant
manufacturers.

1. Connect a R-134a refrigerant recovery/recycling/
charging station {A) to the high-pressure service
port (B) and the low-pressure service port (C), as
shown, following the equipment manufacturer's
instructions.
lvleasure the amount of refrigerant oil removed
from the Ay'C system after the recovery process is
completed. Be sure to put the same amount of new
refrigerant oil back into the Ay'C system before

4.
Evacuate the system (see page 21'54).
Add the same amount of new refrigerant oil to the
system that was removed during recovery. Use
only KEIHIN SP-10 refrigerant oil.
Charge the system with the specified amount of
R-134a refrigerant. Do not overcharge the system;
the compressor will be damaged.
Select the appropriate units of measure for your
refrigerant charging station.
Refrigerant capacity:
500 to 550 g
0.50 to 0.55 kg
1.10 to 1.21 lbs
17.6 to 19.4 oz
Check for refrigerant leaks (see page 21'56).
Check for system performance (see page 21-58).
