INSPECTION
1.Check the rubber parts for damage or deterioration.
2. Check the shock absorber for abnormal resistance or unusual sounds.

a.During air bleeding, replenish the fluid supply so that the level never falls below the lower position of the
filter.
b. If air bleeding is done while the vehicle is idling, the air will be broken up and absorbed into the fluid. Be
sure to do the bleeding only while cranking.
c. Reinstall the fuel pump fuse, and start the engine(idling).
d. Turn the steering wheel to the left and the right until there are no air bubbles in the oil reservoir.
Do not hold the steering wheel turned all the way to either side for more than ten seconds.
e. Confirm that the fluid is not milky, and that the level is up to the position specified on the level gauge.
f. Confirm that there is little change in the surface o the fluid when the steering wheel is turned left and right.
a. If the surface of the fluid changes considerably, air bleeding should be done again.
b. If the fluid level rises suddenly when the engine is stopped, it indicates that there is still air in the
system.
c. If there is air in the system, a jingling noise may be heard from the pump and the control valve
may also produce unusual noises. Air in the system will shorten the life of the pump and other
parts.
OIL PUMP PRESSURE TEST (OIL PUMP RELIEF PRESSURE)
1.Disconnect the pressure hose from the oil pump. Connect the special tool between the oil pump and pressure hose
as illustrated.
2. Bleed the air, and then start the engine and turn the steering wheel several times so that the fluid temperature
rises to approximately 50°C (122°F).
3. Set the engine speed to 1,000 rpm.
4. Close the shut- off valve of the special tool and measure the fluid pressure to confirm that it is within the range.
standard vaule :
Relief pressure: 90 +3/- 2 kgf/cm²
Don’t keep the shut- off valve on the pressure gauge closed for longer than seconds.

INSTRUCTIONS
WHEN HANDLING REFRIGERANT
1. R- 134a liquid refrigerant is highly volatile. A drop on the skin of your hand could result in localized frostbite. When
handling the refrigerant, be sure to wear gloves.
2. It is standard practice to wear goggles or glasses to protect your eyes, and gloves to protect your hands. If the
refrigerant splashes into your eyes, wash them with clean water immediately.
3. The R- 134a container is highly pressurized. Never leave it in a hot place, and check that the storage temperature
is below 52°C (126°F)
4. An electronic leak detector should be used to check the system for refrigerant leakage. Bear in mind that the R-
134a, upon coming into contact with flame, produces phosgene, a highly toxic gas.
5. Use only recommended the lubricant for R- 134a systems. If lubricants other than the recommended one used,
system failure may occur.
6. PAG lubricant absorbs moisture from the atmosphere at a rapid rate, therefore the following precautions must be
observed:
a. When removing refrigerant components from a vehicle, cap immediately the components to prevent from the
entry of moisture.
b. When installing refrigerant components to a vehicle, do not remove the cap until just before connecting the
components.
c. Complete the connection of all refrigerant tubes and hoses without delay to prevent the A/C system from taking
on moisture.
d. Use the recommended lubricant from a sealed container only.
7. If an accidental discharge in the system occurs, ventilate the work area before resuming service.
WHEN REPLACING PARTS ON A/C SYSTEM
1.Never open or loosen a connection before discharging the system.
2. Seal the open fittings of components with a cap or plug immediately to prevent intrusion of moisture or dust.
3. Do not remove the sealing caps from a replacement component until it is ready to be installed.
4. Before connecting an open fitting, always install a new sealing ring. Coat the fitting and seal with refrigerant oil
before making the connection.
WHEN INSTALLING CONNECTING PARTS
FLANGE WITH GUIDE PIN

volume, Subtract the volume of drained oil from 120cc(4.20 oz.) the result is the amount of oil you should drain
from the new compressor (through the suction fitting).
b. Replace the O - rings with new ones at each fitting, and apply a thin coat of refrigerant oil before installing them.
Be sure to use the right O - rings for R- 134a to avoid leakage.
c. To avoid contamination, do not return the oil to the container once dispensed, and never mix it with other
refrigerant oils.
d. Immediately after using the oil, replace the cap on the container and seal it to avoid moisture absorption.
e. Do not spill the refrigerant oil on the vehicle; it may damage the paint; if the refrigerant oil contacts the paint,
wash it off immediately.
f. Adjust the drive belt (Refer to HA - 14)
g. Charge the system and test its performance. (Refer to HA - 9)
INSPECTION
1.Check the plated parts of the disc & hub assembly (A) for color changes, peeling or other damage. If there is
damage, replace the clutch set.
2. Check the pulley (B) bearing play and drag by rotating the pulley by hand. Replace the clutch set with a new one if
it is noisy or has excessive play/drag.
3.Measure the clearance between the pulley (B) and the disc & hub assembly (A) all the way around. If the
clearance is not within specified limits, remove the disc & hub assembly and add or remove shim (gap washer) as
needed to increase or decrease clearance.
Clearance: 0.45 ± 0.1mm (0.018 ± 0.004 in.)
The shims (gap washers) are available in seven thicknesses: 0.7mm, 0.8mm, 0.9mm, 1.0mm, 1.1mm, 1.2mm
and 1.3mm.

INSPECTION
Oil Specification
1. The HFC- 134a system requires synthetic (PAG) compressor oil whereas the R- 12 system requires mineral
compressor oil. The two oils must never be mixed.
2. Compressor (PAG) oil varies according to compressor model. Be sure to use oil specified for the model of
compressor.
Handling of Oil
1.The oil should be free from moisture, dust, metal powder, etc.
2. Do not mix with other oil.
3. The water content in the oil increases when exposed to the air. After use, seal oil from air immediately. (HFC - 134a
Compressor Oil absorbs moisture very easily.)
4. 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.
Whenever replacing any component of the system or a large amount of gas leakage occurs, add oil to maintain the
original amount of oil.
Oil total volume in system:
120±10cc (4.05±0.34 fl.oz)
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. When 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 all the doors and the engine hood.
2. Start the engine and air conditioning switch to "ON" and set the blower motor 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
When replacing the 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 cc (1.70 fl.oz)
Condenser 30 cc (1.02 fl.oz)
Receiver/dryer 30 cc (1.02 fl.oz)
Refrigerant line (One piece) 10 cc (0.34 fl.oz)
For compressor replacement, subtract the volume of oil drained from the removed compressor from the specified
volume, and drain the calculated volume of oil from the new compressor:
The specified volume - volume of removed compressor = volume to drain from the new compressor.
Even if no oil is drained from the removed compressor, don’t drain more than 50cc from new compressor.

14.Remove the evaporator core(A).
15.Be careful that the inlet and outlet pipe are not bent during heater core removal, and pull out the heater core.
16. Install the heater core in the reverse order of removal.
17. Installation is the reverse order of removal, and note these items :
a. If you're installing a new evaporator, add refrigerant oil (ND - OIL8).
b. Replace the O - rings with new ones at each fitting, and apply a thin coat of refrigerant oil before installing
them. Be sure to use the right O - rings for R- 134a to avoid leakage.
c. Immediately after using the oil, replace the cap on the container, and seal it to avoid moisture absorption.
d. Do not spill the refrigerant oil on the vehicle ; it may damage the paint ; if the refrigerant oil contacts the paint,
wash it off immediately
e. Apply sealant to the grommets.
f. Make sure that there is no air leakage.
g. Charge the system and test its performance.
h. Do not interchange the inlet and outlet heater hoses and install the hose clamps securely.
i. Refill the cooling system with engine coolant.
