PRECAUTIONS FOR REPLACEMENT OR
REPAIR OF AIR CONDITIONING PARTS
There are certain procedures, practices and precautions that
should be followed when servicing air conditioning systems:
• Keep your work area clean.
• Always wear safety goggle and protective gloves when
working on refrigerant systems.
• Beware of the danger of carbon monoxide fumes caused by
running the engine.
• Beware of discharged refrigerant in enclosed or improperly
ventilated garages.
•
Always disconnect the negative battery cable and discharge
and recover the refrigerant whenever repairing the air
conditioning system.
• W hen discharging and recovering the refrigerant, do not
allow refrigerant to discharge too fast; it will draw
compressor oil out of the system.
• Keep moisture and contaminants out of the system. W hen
disconnecting or removing any lines or parts, use plugs or
caps to close the fittings immediately.
Never remove the caps or plugs until the lines or parts are reconnected or installed.
• W hen disconnecting or reconnecting the lines, use two
wrenches to support the line fitting, to prevent from twisting
or other damage.
• Always install new O-rings whenever a connection is
disassembled.
• Before connecting any hoses or lines, apply new specified
compressor oil to the O-rings.
• W hen removing and replacing any parts which require
discharging the refrigerant circuit, the operations described
in this section must be performed in the following sequence:
1) Using the ACR
4 (HFC-134a Refrigerant Recovery/
Recycling/Recharging/System) or equivalent to
thoroughly discharge and recover the refrigerant.
ACR
4 (115V 60Hz) : 5-8840-0629-0 (J-39500-A)
ACR4 (220-240V 50/60Hz)

compressor oil.
• Compressor (PAG) oil varies according to compressor
model. Be sure to use oil specified for the model of
compressor.
Specified Compressor Oil
DH-PR
HANDLING OF OIL
•
The oil should be free from moisture, dust, metal powder,
etc.
• Do not mix with other oil.
• The water content in the oil increases when exposed to the
air. After use, seal oil from air immediately.
• The compressor oil must be stored in steel containers, not
in plastic containers.
COMPRESSOR OIL CHECK
The Oil used to lubricate the compressor is circulating with the
refrigerant.
W henever replacing any component of the system or a large
amount of gas leakage occurs, add oil to maintain the original

Checking and Adjusting for Compressor
Replacement
180 cm3 (5.07 lmp fl oz) of oil is charged in compressor
(service parts). So it is necessary to drain the proper amount
of oil from the new compressor.
1) Perform oil return operation.
2) Discharge refrigerant and remove the compressor.
3) Drain the compressor oil and measure the extracted oil.
4) Check the compressor oil for contamination.
5) Adjust oil level as required.

6) Evacuate, charge and perform oil return operation.
7) Check system operation.
CONTAMINATION OF COMPRESSOR OIL
Unlike engine oil, no cleaning agent is added to the
compressor oil. Even is the compressor runs for a long period
of time (approximately 1 season), the oil never becomes
contaminated as long as there is nothing wrong with the
compressor or its method of use.
Inspect the extracted oil for any of the following
conditions:
• The capacity of the oil has increased.
• The oil has changed color to red.
• Foreign substances, metal powder, etc., are present in the
oil.
If any of these conditions exists, compressor oil is
contaminated. Whenever contaminated compressor oil is
discovered, the receiver/drier must be replaced.

OIL RETURN OPERATION
There is close affinity between the oil and the refrigerant.
During normal operation, part of the oil recirculates with the
refrigerant in the system.
W hen checking the amount of oil in the system, or replacing
any component of the system, the compressor must be run in
advance for oil return operation. The procedure is as follows:
1) Open the all doors and engine hood.
2) Start the engine and A/C switch is "ON" and Set the fan control knob at its highest position.
3) Run the compressor for more than 20 minutes between 800 and 1,000 rpm in order to operate the system.
4) Stop the engine.
REPLACEMENT OF COMPONENT PARTS
W hen replacing system component parts, supply the following
amount of oil to the component parts to be installed.
Component parts to be installed Amount of oil
Evaporator 50 cm3 (1.41 lmp fl oz)
Condenser 30 cm3 (0.84 lmp fl oz)
Receiver/drier 30 cm3 (0.84 lmp fl oz)
Refrigerant line (One piece) 10 cm3 (0.28 lmp fl oz)
Refrigeration oil must be replenished if more than two parts
are removed at the same time. After installing these
components, check compressor oil.
