After connecting line, conduct leak test and make sure that there is no leakage from connections.
When the gas leaking point is found, disconnect that line and replace the O-ring. Then tighten con-
nections of seal seat to the specified torque.
Precautions for Servicing CompressorEJS003WV

Plug all openings to prevent moisture and foreign matter from entering.

When the compressor is removed, store it in the same position as it is when mounted on the car.

When replacing or repairing compressor, follow “Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in Compres-
sor” exactly. Refer to ATC-22, "
Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in Compressor" .

Keep friction surfaces between clutch and pulley clean. If the surface is contaminated with lubri-
cant, wipe it off by using a clean waste cloth moistened with thinner.

After compressor service operation, turn the compressor shaft by hand more than 5 turns in both
directions. This will equally distribute lubricant inside the compressor. After the compressor is
installed, let the engine idle and operate the compressor for 1 hour.

After replacing the compressor magnet clutch, apply voltage to the new one and check for normal
operation. Refer to ATC-180, "
Removal and Installation for Compressor Clutch"
Precautions for Service EquipmentEJS003WW
RECOVERY/RECYCLING EQUIPMENT
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for machine operation and machine maintenance. Never introduce any
refrigerant other than that specified into the machine.
ELECTRONIC LEAK DETECTOR
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for tester operation and tester maintenance.
