Precautions for Procedures without Cowl Top CoverNJS000D7
When performing the procedure after removing cowl top cover, cover
the lower end of windshield with urethane, etc.
Precautions for Working with HFC-134a (R-134a)NJS000D8
CAUTION:
CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant and HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant are not compatible. If the refrigerants
are mixed and compressor malfunction is likely to occur, refer to “CONTAMINATED REFRIGER-
ANT” below. To determine the purity of HFC-134a (R-134a) in the vehicle and recovery tank, use
Refrigerant Recovery/Recycling Recharging equipment and Refrigerant Identifier.
Use only specified lubricant for the HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C system and HFC-134a (R-134a) compo-
nents. If lubricant other than that specified is used, compressor malfunction is likely to occur.
The specified HFC-134a (R-134a) lubricant rapidly absorbs moisture from the atmosphere. The fol-
lowing handling precautions must be observed:
–When removing refrigerant components from a vehicle, immediately cap (seal) the component to
minimize the entry of moisture from the atmosphere.
–When installing refrigerant components to a vehicle, never remove the caps (unseal) until just
before connecting the components. Connect all refrigerant loop components as quickly as possi-
ble to minimize the entry of moisture into system.
–Only use the specified lubricant from a sealed container. Immediately reseal containers of lubri-
cant. Without proper sealing, lubricant will become moisture saturated and should not be used.
–Never allow lubricant (Nissan A/C System Oil Type S) to come in contact with styrene foam parts.
Damage may result.

PRECAUTIONS
Revision: 2006 December 2006 FX35/FX45
CAUTION:
The new and former refrigerant connections use different O-ring configurations. Never confuse O-
rings since they are not interchangeable. If a wrong O-ring is installed, refrigerant may leak at the con-
nection.
O-Ring Part Numbers and Specifications
WARNING:
Make sure all refrigerant is discharged into the recycling equipment and the pressure in the system is
less than atmospheric pressure. Then gradually loosen the discharge side hose fitting and remove it.
CAUTION:
When replacing or cleaning refrigerant cycle components, observe the following.
When the compressor is removed, store it in the same way at it is when mounted on the car. Fail-
ure to do so will cause lubricant to enter the low-pressure chamber.
When connecting tubes, always use a torque wrench and a back-up wrench.
After disconnecting tubes, immediately plug all openings to prevent entry of dirt and moisture.
When installing an air conditioner in the vehicle, connect the pipes at the final stage of the opera-
tion. Never remove the seal caps of pipes and other components until just before required for con-
nection.
Allow components stored in cool areas to warm to working area temperature before removing seal
caps. This prevents condensation from forming inside A/C components.
Thoroughly remove moisture from the refrigeration system before charging the refrigerant.
Always replace used O-rings.
When connecting tubes, apply lubricant to circle of the O-rings shown in illustration. Be careful
not to apply lubricant to threaded portion.
O-ring must be closely attached to the groove of tube.
When replacing the O-ring, be careful not to damage O-ring and tube.
Connect tube until a click can be heard, then tighten the nut or bolt by hand until snug. Make sure
that the O-ring is installed to tube correctly.

PRECAUTIONS
Revision: 2006 December 2006 FX35/FX45
VACUUM PUMP
The lubricant contained inside the vacuum pump is not compatible
with the specified lubricant for HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C systems.
The vent side of the vacuum pump is exposed to atmospheric pres-
sure. So the vacuum pump lubricant may migrate out of the pump
into the service hose. This is possible when the pump is switched off
after evacuation (vacuuming) and hose is connected to it.
To prevent this migration, use a manual valve placed near the hose-
to-pump connection, as follows.
Usually vacuum pumps have a manual isolator valve as part of
the pump. Close this valve to isolate the service hose from the
pump.
For pumps without an isolator, use a hose equipped with a man-
ual shut-off valve near the pump end. Close the valve to isolate
the hose from the pump.
If the hose has an automatic shut-off valve, disconnect the hose
from the pump. As long as the hose is connected, the valve is
open and lubricating oil may migrate.
Some one-way valves open when vacuum is applied and close
under no vacuum condition. Such valves may restrict the pump’s
ability to pull a deep vacuum and are not recommended.
MANIFOLD GAUGE SET
Be certain that the gauge face indicates HFC-134a or R-134a. Be
sure the gauge set has 1/2 ″-16 ACME threaded connections for ser-
vice hoses. Confirm the set has been used only with refrigerant
HFC-134a (R-134a) and specified lubricants.
SERVICE HOSES
Be certain that the service hoses display the markings described
(colored hose with black stripe). All hoses must include positive shut-
off devices (either manual or automatic) near the end of the hoses
opposite to the manifold gauge.
