MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
ON–VEHICLE SERVICE
GENERAL A/C SYSTEM SERVICE PROCEDURES
O–RING REPLACEMENT
Important : Even though O–rings may look identical, it is
extremely important that only recommended service re-
placement air conditioning O–rings be used or excessive
leakage of refrigerant may occur.
Important : Always slip the O–ring onto the flange tube to
ensure proper locating and sealing.
Install new Daewoo–approved service replacement air
conditioning (A/C) O–rings whenever a joint or a fitting is
disassembled, except when the O–rings are provided on
new components.
When replacing O–rings on an A/C component or a joint
connection, the fitting design should be identified to en-
sure installation of the correct air conditioning service re-
placement O–ring. Some joint connections and compo-
nents will implement a ”captured” O–ring design fitting that
uses a groove to retain the O–ring. Others do not have a
groove and use a ”non–captured” or ”standard” O–ring.
Assembly and tightening procedures are the same for
both designs, but the O–rings are different.
Notice : Before installation, verify that both O–rings and
fittings have not been nicked or deformed. Deformed or
nicked parts must be replaced. Failure to use the proper
service replacement parts and procedures may result in
excessive refrigerant leakage.
HANDLING REFRIGERANT
CAUTION : Always work in a well–ventilated area and
avoid breathing any refrigerant fumes. If you have dif-
ficulty with breathing, seek medical attention immedi-
ately. If refrigerant comes in contact with any part of
your body, flush the exposed area with water. If a rash
or pain develops, seek medical attention.
Air conditioning systems contain refrigerant. This is a
chemical mixture which requires special handling proce-
dures to avoid personal injury.
Always wear goggles and wrap a clean cloth around the
fittings, the valves and the connections when performing
work that involves opening the refrigerant system. Do not
weld or steam clean on or near any vehicle–installed air
conditioning lines or components.
All refrigerant drums are shipped with a heavy metal screw
cap. The purpose of the cap is to protect the valve and the
safety plug from damage. It is good practice to replace the
cap after each use of the drum.If it is necessary to transport or carry any container of re-
frigerant in a vehicle, do not carry it in the passenger
compartment.
HANDLING OF REFRIGERANT LINES
AND FITTINGS
Notice : Using too low or too high torque when tightening
a fitting can result in loose joints or deformed joint parts.
Both conditions can result in refrigerant leakage.
S Keep all metal tubing lines free of dents or kinks.
Any line restrictions will cause the loss of system
capacity.
S Never bend a flexible hose line to a radius of less
than four times the diameter of the hose.
S Never allow a flexible hose line to come within 65
mm (2–1/2 inches) of the exhaust manifold.
S Inspect flexible hose lines regularly for leaks or
brittleness.
S Replace flexible hose lines with new lines if you find
signs of deterioration or leaking.
S Discharge all refrigerant of the refrigeration system
before disconnecting any fitting in the refrigeration
system.
S Proceed very cautiously regardless of the gauge
readings.
CAUTION : Keep your face and your hands away from
the fitting so that you will not be injured if there hap-
pens to be liquid refrigerant in the line.
S Open the fittings very slowly.
S If you notice pressure when you loosen a fitting,
allow the pressure to bleed off as described under
”Discharging, Adding Oil, Evacuating, and Charging
Procedures for A/C System” in this section.
S Cap or tape any refrigerant line immediately after it
is opened. This will prevent the entrance of mois-
ture and dirt, which can cause internal compressor
wear or plugged lines in the condenser, the evapo-
rator core, the expansion valve, or the compressor
inlet screens.
Important : Use two proper wrenches to connect the O–
ring fittings.
S Back up the opposing fitting to prevent distortion of
the connecting lines or the components.
S Back up both the swagged fitting on the flexible
hose connections and the coupling to which it is
attached with two wrenches to prevent turning the
fitting and damaging the ground seat.
S Keep the O–rings and the seats in perfect condi-
tion. A burr or a piece of dirt may cause a refriger-
ant leak.
