Refrigerant Recovery, Evacuating and Charging
Operation Procedure for Refrigerant Charging
WARNING:
 Your eyes should not be exposed to refrigerant (liquid).
Any liquid HFC-134a (R-134a) escaping by accident shows a temperature as low as approximately
–6 °C (21 °F) below freezing point. Should liquid HFC-134a (R-134a) get into your eyes, it may cause
a serious injury. To protect your eyes against such accident, it is necessary to always wear gog-
gles. Should it occur that HFC-134a (R-134a) strikes your eyes(s), consult a doctor immediately.
– Do not use your hand to rub the affected eye(s). Instead, use quantities of fresh cold water to
splash it over the affected area to gradually raise temperature of such area above freezing point.
– Obtain proper treatment as soon as possible from a doctor or eye specialist.
 Should the HFC-134a (R-134a) liquid come into contact with your skin, the affected area should be
treated in the same manner as when skin is frostbitten or frozen.
 Refrigerant must not be handled near where welding or steam cleaning is performed.
 Refrigerant should be kept at a cold and dark place. It should never be stored where a high temper-
ature is anticipated, e.g. where exposed to direct sun light, close to fire or inside vehicle (including
trunk room).
 Avoid breathing fumes produced when HFC-134a (R-134a) is burned. Such fumes may be hazardous
to health.

Recovery
REFRIGERANT RECOVERY
When evacuating A/C system, always recover refrigerant by using
equipment (1) for refrigerant recovery and recycling. Discharging
refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a) into atmosphere would cause
adverse effect to environments.
Replenishing Compressor Oil
It is necessary to replenishing specified amount of compressor oil
to compressor (1) from compressor suction side hole (2) before
evacuating and charging refrigerant.
Compressor oil
99000-99088-00D0
WHEN CHARGING REFRIGERANT ONLY
When charging refrigerant without replacing any component part,
replenish the same amount of measured oil when recover refrig-
erant (if not measure, replenish 30 cc oil).NOTE:
 After recover refrigerant from system, the amount of
removed compressor oil must be measured for replen-
ishing compressor oil.
 When handling recovery and recycling equipment, be
sure to follow the instruction manual for the equip-
ment.

WHEN REPLACING COMPRESSOR
Compressor oil is sealed in each new compressor by the amount
required for A/C system. Therefore, when using a new compres-
sor for replacement, drain oil from new compressor by the amount
calculated as follows.
“C” = “A” – “B”
“C” : Amount of oil to be drained
“A” : Amount of oil sealed in a new compressor
“B” : Amount of oil remaining in removed compressor
WHEN REPLACING OTHER PART
Replenish the following amount of oil to compressor.

Evacuating procedure
Whenever opened (exposed to atmospheric air), A/C system
must be evacuated by using a vacuum pump.

On-Vehicle Service
Service Precaution
When servicing air conditioning system, note the following instructions.
Refrigerant line
Never use heat for bending pipes. When bending a pipe, try to make its bending radius as slight as possible.
Keep internal parts of air conditioning free from moisture and dirt. When disconnecting any line from system,
install a blind plug or cap to the fitting immediately.
When connecting hoses and pipes, apply a few drops of compressor oil to seats of coupling nuts and O-ring.
When tightening or loosening a fitting, use two wrenches, one for turning and the other for support.
Tighten flared nuts by the following specified torque.
Tightening torque (Flared Nut Used for)
8 mm pipe : 13 N·m (1.3 kg-m, 9.5 lb-ft)
12 mm pipe : 23 N·m (2.3 kg-m, 16.6 lb-ft)
14.5 mm pipe : 33 N·m (3.3 kg-m, 23.8 lb-ft)
Route drain hose so that drained water does not make any contact to vehicle components.
Before evacuating and charging refrigerant, replenish specified amount of compressor oil to compressor
suction side by referring to “Replenishing Compressor Oil” in this section.
1. Suction hose:
Apply compressor oil to O-ring.4. Condenser outlet pipe:
Apply compressor oil to O-ring.
2. Discharge hose:
Apply compressor oil to O-ring.5. Expansion valve:
Apply compressor oil to O-ring.
3. Receiver / dryer outlet pipe:
Apply compressor oil to O-ring.6. Dual pressure switch:
Apply compressor oil to O-ring.

Handling refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a)
Always wear goggles to protect your eyes.
Avoid you direct contact to liquid refrigerant.
Do not heat refrigerant container higher than 40 °C (104 °F).
Do not discharge refrigerant into atmosphere.
Do not allow liquid refrigerant to touch bright metals. Refrigerant combined with moisture is corrosive and
will tarnish surfaces of bright metals including chrome. WARNING:
Should refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a) strike your eye(s), consult a doctor immediately.
 Do not use your hand to rub affected eye(s). Instead, use quantities of fresh cold water to splash it
over affected area to thus gradually raise its temperature above the freezing point.
 Obtain proper treatment as soon as possible from a doctor or eye specialist.
Should liquid refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a) get on your skin, such affected part should be treated
in the same manner as when skin is frostbitten or frozen.
CAUTION:
The air conditioning system of this vehicle uses refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a).
None of refrigerant, compressor oil and component parts is interchangeable between two types of
A/C: one using refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a) and the other using refrigerant CFC-12 (R-12).
Be sure to check which refrigerant is used before any service work including inspection and mainte-
nance. For identification between these two types, refer to “Refrigerant Type” in this section. When
replenishing or changing refrigerant and compressor oil and when replacing parts, make sure that the
material or the part to be used is appropriate to the A/C installed in the vehicle being service.Use of
incorrect one will result in leakage of refrigerant, damage in parts or other faulty condition.
