GENERALITIES
GENERALITIES
The purpose of the a ir conditioning unit i s to produce a decrease of t he temperature in the
passengers compartment a nd to obtain a l ower value t emperature compared to the external
environment one, reducing in the same time the air moisture.
MAINTENANCE
For a vehicle equipped with air conditioning, it is recommended a frequent checking of the
refrigerating agent level. During the year it is recommended:
- the checking of the refrigerant fluid filling;
- the cleaning and the air-blowing of the condenser and the cooling radiator fins;
- the checking of the condensation removal pipe on order not to be clogged.
For important leakage repair, for any components replacement (compressor, condenser, etc)
and if moisture was noticed in t he air conditioning circuit, the dryer filter tank is to be replaced
and the unit draining is to be performed. The same is valid also in case the conditioning circuit
remains open without protection covers more than 10 minutes.
IMP ORTANT
Duri ng winter, it is recommended the frequent start of the system, in order to pro-
long the lifetime of the compressor and of the whole system.
The vehicle equipped with an air conditioning system shall be not exposed for more
than 20 minutes i n painting c abin where there are temperatures higher than 80 °C.
It is obligatory the use of the refrigerating agent and compressor oil type prescribed
by the manufacturer. It is absolutely forbidden to perform welding on the elements of the air condition
circ uits. The filling of the air conditioning system can be pe rformed only by m eans of charging
units and observing the instructions of the manufacturer. For mechanical or body
operations it is recommended pi ping protection in order to avoid their disconnection
by accident. Avoid the drip of the oil compressor on the painted vehicle body.
For component replacement implying the circuit draining, it is absolutely necessary
the use of new parts and of a special oil for compressor.

THE CONDENSER
The condenser is placed on the cooling radiator, in the front part of the vehicle and is ensuring
the exhaust of the refrigerant heat accumulated at compression.
In order to grant the optimum condenser operation, frequently check if its outside surfaces are
always clean and the air penetration is not stopped. Also, check the condenser pipes in order not
to show deformations. CONDENSER

RTICULARITIES REGARDING THE CONNECTORS
DISCONNECTING METHOD
Because this vehicle is equipped with electronics systems controlling and checking different
functions, it is necessary the execution of the electric connection by means of some connectors
provided with securing de vices after coupling performing. Due t o this reason, i n c ase t heir
disconnecting is necessary, proceed observing the following observations:
- connectors for: ignition coil (pos.1), canister purging valve (pos.2), AC pressure sensor (pos.3),
atmospheric pre ssure sensor(pos.4), siren(pos.4), step-by-step engine (pos.5), valve potentiometer
(p os.6), cooling blower (pos.7) are to be disconnected after easy pulling the locking clamp in the
di rection shown by the arrow.
- the connectors for: RPM sensor (pos.8), front hood contact (pos.9) are to be disconnected
after easy pulling the locking clamp (A) in the arrow direction, for unlocking.
