SERVICE HOSES
Be certain that the service hoses display the markings described
(colored hose with black stripe). All hoses must include positive shut
off devices (either manual or automatic) near the end of the hoses
opposite the manifold gauge.
SERVICE COUPLERS
Never attempt to connect HFC-134a (R-134a) service couplers to an
CFC-12 (R-12) A/C system. The HFC-134a (R-134a) couplers will
not properly connect to the CFC-12 (R-12) system. However, if an
improper connection is attempted, discharging and contamination
may occur.
REFRIGERANT WEIGHT SCALE
Verify that no refrigerant other than HFC-134a (R-134a) and speci-
fied lubricants have been used with the scale. If the scale controls
refrigerant flow electronically, the hose fitting must be 1/2²-16
ACME.
CALIBRATING ACR4 WEIGHT SCALE
Calibrate the scale every three months.
To calibrate the weight scale on the ACR4 :
1. PressShift/ResetandEnterat the same time.
2. Press8787.“A1” will be displayed.
3. Remove all weight from the scale.
4. Press0,thenpressEnter.“0.00” will be displayed and change to “A2”.
5. Place a known weight (dumbbell or similar weight), between 4.5 and 8.6 kg (10 and 19 lb) on the center of
the weight scale.
6. Enter the known weight using four digits. (Example 10 lb = 10.00, 10.5 lb = 10.50)
7. PressEnter— the display returns to the vacuum mode.
8. PressShift/ResetandEnterat the same time.
9. Press6— the known weight on the scale is displayed.
10. Remove the known weight from the scale. “0.00” will be displayed.
11 . P r e s sShift/Resetto return the ACR4 to the program mode.

LUBRICANT
4.CHECK ANY PART
Is there any part to be replaced? (Evaporator, condenser,liquid tank or in case there is evidence of a large
amount of lubricant leakage.)
Ye s o r N o
Ye s > > G o t oAT C - 2 2 , "LUBRICANT ADJUSTING PROCEDURE FOR COMPONENTS REPLACEMENT
EXCEPT COMPRESSOR".
No >> Carry out the A/C performance test.
LUBRICANT ADJUSTING PROCEDURE FOR COMPONENTS REPLACEMENT EXCEPT COM-
PRESSOR
After replacing any of the following major components, add the correct amount of lubricant to the system.
Amount of lubricant to be added
*1:If refrigerant leak is small, no addition of lubricant is needed.
LUBRICANT ADJUSTING PROCEDURE FOR COMPRESSOR REPLACEMENT
1. Before connecting ACR4 to vehicle, check ACR4 gauges. No refrigerant pressure should be displayed. If
NG, recover refrigerant from equipment lines.
2. Discharge refrigerant into the refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment. Measure lubricant discharged into
the recovery/recycling equipment.
3. Drain the lubricant from the old (removed) compressor into a graduated container and recover the amount
of lubricant drained.
4. Drain the lubricant from the new compressor into a separate, clean container.
5. Measure an amount of new lubricant installed equal to amount drained from old compressor. Add this
lubricant to new compressor through the suction port opening.
6. Measure an amount of new lubricant equal to the amount recovered during discharging. Add this lubricant
to new compressor through the suction port opening.
7. If the liquid tank also needs to be replaced, add an additional 5 ml [Litre] (0.2 Imp fl oz) of lubricant at this
time.
Do not add this 5 ml (0.2 Imp fl oz) of lubricant if only replacing the compressor.

Control OperationEJS000TL
DISPLAY SCREEN
Displays the operational status of the system.
AUTO SWITCH
The compressor, intake doors, air mix doors, outlet doors and blower speed are automatically controlled so
that the in-vehicle temperature will reach, and be maintained at the set temperature selected by the operator.
TEMPERATURE DIAL (POTENTIO TEMPERATURE CONTROL)
Increase or decrease the set temperature.
Ambient temperature will be displayed by pressing the temperature dial.
A/C SWITCH
The compressor is ON or OFF.
(Pressing the A/C switch when the AUTO switch is ON will turn off the A/C switch and compressor.)
DEFROSTER (DEF) SWITCH
Positions the air outlet doors to the defrost position. Also positions the intake doors to the outside air position.
MODE SWITCH
Control the air discharge outlets.
FAN S WIT CH
Manually controls the blower speed. Five speeds are available for manual control (as shown on the display
screen).
OFF SWITCH
The compressor and blower are OFF, the intake doors are set to the outside air position, and the air outlet
doors are set to the foot position.
FRESH (FRE) SWITCH
OFF position: Interior air is recirculated inside the vehicle.
ON position: Outside air is drawn into the passenger compartment.
(When RECICULATION switch is ON, the FRESH switch turns OFF automatically.)
RECIRCULATION (REC) SWITCH
OFF position: Outside air is drawn into the passenger compartment.
ON position: Interior air is drawn into the passenger compartment.
(When the FRESH switch is ON or the compressor is turned from ON to OFF, the RECIRCULATION switch
turns OFF automatically.)
