Refrigerant oil
CAUTION: Refrigerant oil eas il y absorbs water and mus t not be s tored for long periods. Do not pour unusedrefri gerant oi l back i nto the container. Always use an approved refrigerant oi l.
W hen replaci ng component s in the ai r condit ioning s ys tem, drai n t he refri gerant oi l from t he component being replacedint o a graduat ed cont ainer. On as s embly, add t he quant it y of refri gerant oi l drained t o t he new component - See Ai rCondi ti oni ng Compres s or Repl acement in this Sect ion.
Compres s or
A new compress or is sealed and press uris ed wit h Ni trogen gas . W hen i nst all ing a new compres sor, sl owly releas e thes eal ing cap; gas pres sure s houl d be heard to vent as t he s eal i s broken.
CAUTION: A new compress or s houl d always be s ealed and could be pres suris ed wit h ni trogen gas . To avoid pos si bleoil l os s , rel eas e t he s ealing cap(s ) s lowl y. Do not remove t he cap(s ) unt il i mmediatel y pri or to connect ing t he aircondi ti oni ng pipes t o the compress or.
Rapid refrigerant dis charge

Precaut ions for refrigerant recovery, recycl ing and rechargi ng
W hen t he air condit ioning s yst em is recharged, any exi s ti ng refri gerant i s first recovered from t he s ys t em and recycled.The s ys t em i s t hen charged wit h the required weight of refrigerant and volume of refrigerant oil .
W ARNING: Refri gerant mus t al ways be recycl ed before reus e t o make s ure that the purit y of the refrigerant i s highenough for s afe us e i n the ai r condit ioni ng sys t em. Recycl ing s hould al ways be carried out wit h equipment which i s des i gncert ifi ed by Underwrit er Laborat ory Inc. for compl iance wit h SAE J1991. Ot her equipment may not recycle refrigerant t o t herequired level of purit y.
