R-134a evaporates so rapidly at normal atmospheric pressures and temperatures that
it tends to freeze anything it contacts. For this reason, extreme care must be taken to
prevent any liquid refrigerant from contacting the skin and especially the eyes.
Always wear safety goggles when servicing the refrigeration part of the A/C
system. Keep a bottle of sterile mineral oil handy when working on the refrigeration
system.
1. Should any liquid refrigerant get into your eyes, use a few drops of mineral oil
to wash them out.
R-134a is rapidly absorbed by the oil.
2. Next, splash your eyes with plenty of cold water.
3. Call your doctor immediately even if irritation has ceased.
In most instances, moderate heat is required to bring the pressure of the refrigerant
in its container above the pressure of the system when charging or adding
refrigerant.
A bucket or large pan of hot water not over 40°C (104.0°F) is all the heat required
for this purpose. Do not heat the refrigerant container with a blow torch or any other
means that would raise temperature and pressure above this temperature. Do not
weld or steam-clean on or near the system components or refrigerant lines.
WARNING:Do not heat R-134a above 40°C (104.0°F) or it may
catch fire and explode.
CAUTION: Keep R-134a containers upright when charging the
system.
WARNING:The leak detector for R-134a should be used to
check for refrigerant gas leaks.
CAUTION: Do not allow liquid refrigerant to touch bright metal
or it will be stained.

2004 STARTING & CHARGING SYSTEMS
Starters - Endeavor
DESCRIPTION & OPERATION If the ignition switch is turned to START position, current flows in the coil
provided inside magnetic switch, attracting the plunger. When plunger is attracted,
the lever connected to plunger is actuated to engage starter clutch. On the other
hand, attracting plunger will turn on magnetic switch, allowing "B" terminal and
"M" terminal to conduct. Thus, current flows to engage starter motor. When
ignition switch is returned to ON position after starting engine, starter clutch is
disengaged from ring gear.
An overrunning clutch is provided between pinion and armature shaft to prevent
damage to starter.
When the ignition switch is switched to the START position while the selector leve
r
is at the "P" or "N" range, the contact (magnetic switch) of the starter is switched
ON and the starter motor is activated.
ADJUSTMENT PINION GAP 1. Disconnect the field coil wire from the "M" terminal of magnetic switch.
2. Connect a 12V battery between "S" terminal and "M" terminal. See Fig. 1
.
3. Set switch to ON and pinion will move out.
4. Check the pinion to stopper clearance (pinion gap) with a feeler gauge. See
Fig. 2
.
5. If the pinion gap is out of specification, adjust by adding or removing gasket(s)
between the ma
gnetic switch and front bracket. CAUTION: To prevent coil from burning, DO NOT apply voltage
to starter assembly for more than 10 seconds.
