Repair Instructions
Operation Procedure for Refrigerant ChargeS6RW0D7216001
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 (21.2 °F) below freezing point. Should liquid HFC-134a (R-134a) is exposed to your eyes, it may
cause a serious injury. To protect your eyes from such accident, it is necessary to always wear
goggles. Should it occur that HFC-134a (R-134a) is exposed to your eyes, consult a doctor
immediately.
– Do not use your hand to rub the affected eye(s). Instead, use 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 liquid refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a) is exposed to your skin, the affected area should be
treated in the same manner as when skin is frostbitten or frozen.
• Do not handle refrigerant near any place where welding or steam cleaning is performed.
• Refrigerant should be kept in a cold and dark place. It should never be stored in any place where
temperature is high, e.g. where exposed to direct sun light, close to fire or inside vehicle (including
trunk room).
• Avoid breathing fume produced when HFC-134a (R-134a) is burned. Such fume may be hazardous to
your health.

Recovery
When discharging refrigerant out of A/C system, always
recover it by using refrigerant recovery and recycling
equipment because discharging refrigerant HFC-134a
(R-134a) into atmosphere would cause adverse effect to
environments.
NOTE
• After recovering refrigerant from system,
the amount of removed compressor oil
must be measured for replenishing
compressor oil.
• When handling recovery and recycling
equipment, be sure to follow the
instruction manual for the equipment.

Replenishing Compressor Oil
It is necessary to replenish specified amount of
compressor oil to compressor from compressor suction
side hole (1) before evacuating and charging refrigerant.When charging refrigerant only
When charging refrigerant without replacing any
component, replenish the same amount of measured oil
when recovering refrigerant (if not measure, replenish 10
cm
3 (10 ml, 0.34 US.oz, 0.35 Imp.oz) oil).
When replacing compressor
CAUTION!
Be sure to use specified compressor oil or an
equivalent compressor oil.

Compressor oil is sealed in each new compressor by the
amount required for A/C system. Therefore, when using
a new compressor, drain the calculated amount of oil
from it.
“C” = “A” – “B”
“C”: Amount of oil to be drained
“A”: Amount of oil in a new compressor
“B”: Amount of oil in removed compressor
NOTE
Compressor assembly supplied from factory
is filled up with the following amount of oil.

Evacuation
CAUTION!
Do not evacuate before recovering
refrigerant in A/C system.

NOTE
Once air conditioning system circuit is
opened (exposed) to atmospheric air, system
must be evacuated by using a vacuum pump.
The A/C system should be attached with a
manifold gauge set, and should be evacuated
for approximately 15 minutes.

1) Connect high charging hose (1) and low charging
hose (2) of manifold gauge set (3) (special tool)
respectively as follows:
High charging hose → High pressure charging valve
(4) on discharge hose
Low charging hose → Low pressure charging valve
(5) on suction pipe
Special tool
(A): 09990–06020
2) Attach center charging hose (6) of manifold gauge
set to vacuum pump (7).
3) Operate vacuum pump, and then open discharge
side valve (Hi) (8) of manifold gauge set.
If there is no blockage in the system, there will be an
indication on high pressure gauge (9).
When this occurs, open the other side valve (Lo)
(10) of the set.
4) Approximately 10 minutes later, low pressure gauge
(11) should show a vacuum lower than –100 kPa (–
1.0 kgf/cm
2, –760 mmHg, –14.7 psi) providing no
leakage exists.
NOTE
• If the system does not show a vacuum
below –100 kPa (–1.0 kgf/cm
2, –760 mmHg,
–14.7 psi), close both valves, stop vacuum
pump and watch movement of low
pressure gauge.
• Increase in the gauge reading suggests
existence of leakage. In this case, repair
the system before continuing its
evacuation.
• If the gauge shows a stable reading
(suggesting no leakage), continue
evacuation.

5) Evacuation should be carried out for a total of at
least 15 minutes.
6) Continue evacuation until low pressure gauge
indicates a vacuum less than –100 kPa (–1.0 kgf/
cm
2, –760 mmHg, –14.7 psi), and then close both
valves.
7) Stop vacuum pump. Disconnect center charging
hose from pump inlet. Now, the system is ready for
charging refrigerant.
Checking A/C System for Pressure Leaks
After completing the evacuation, close manifold gauge
high pressure valve and low pressure valve and wait 10
minutes. Verify that low pressure gauge reading has not
changed.
CAUTION!
If the gauge reading moves closer to “0”,
there is a leak somewhere. Inspect the tubing
connections and make necessary
corrections. And then, evacuate system once
again and make sure that there are no leaks.

Charge
CAUTION!
• Because the sight glass is not used for this
A/C system, do not perform an additional
charge to the A/C system. To charge the
proper amount of refrigerant, recover and
evacuate the A/C system first. And then,
charge the proper amount of refrigerant
into the A/C system.
• Always charge refrigerant through low
pressure side of A/C system after the initial
charge is performed from the high
pressure side with the engine stopped.
• Never charge refrigerant through high
pressure side of A/C system with engine
running.
• Do not charge refrigerant while
compressor is hot.
• When installing tap valve to refrigerant
container to make a hole there through,
carefully follow directions given by
manufacturer.
• A pressure gauge should always be used
before and during refrigerant charge.
• The refrigerant container should be
emptied of refrigerant when discarding it.
• The refrigerant container should not be
heated up to 40 °C (104 °F) or over.
• Refrigerant container should not be
reversed in direction during refrigerant
charge. Reversing in direction causes
liquid refrigerant to enter compressor,
causing troubles, such as compression of
liquid refrigerant and the like.

NOTE
The air conditioning system contains HFC-
134a (R-134a).
Described here is a method to charge the air
conditioning system with refrigerant from the
refrigerant service container.
When charging refrigerant recovered by
using the refrigerant and recycling
equipment (when recycling refrigerant),
follow the procedure described in the
equipment manufacturer’s instruction
manual.

The initial charge of the A/C system is performed
through the high pressure side with the engine stopped.
And next, this method must be followed by charging from
the low pressure side with the engine running.
1) Check if hoses are routed properly after evacuating
the system.
2) Connect low charging hose (1) and high charging
hose (2) of the manifold gauge set (3) in position.
Then, open refrigerant container valve (4) to purge
the charging line.
3) Open the high pressure side valve (5) and charge
refrigerant to system.
4) After a while, open the low pressure side valve (6)
and close the high pressure side valve.
WARNING!
Make sure that high pressure side valve is
closed securely.

5) Start engine and keep engine speed at 1500 r/min,
and then operate A/C system.
6) Charge A/C system with refrigerant in vapor state. At
this time, refrigerant container should be held
upright.
