*: Always check with the Parts Department for the latest parts information.
WARNING:
Make sure all refrigerant is discharged into the recycling equipment and the pressure in the system is
less than atmospheric pressure. Then gradually loo sen the discharge side hose fitting and remove it.
CAUTION:
When replacing or cleaning refrigerant cycle components, observe the following.
When the compressor is removed, st ore it in the same position as it is when mounted on the car.
Failure to do so will cause oil to enter the low pressure chamber.
When connecting tubes, always use a to rque wrench and a back-up wrench.
After disconnecting tubes, immediately plug all op enings to prevent entry of dirt and moisture.
When installing an air conditioner in the vehicle, connect the pipes as the final stage of the opera-
tion. Do not 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 refriger ation system before charging the refrigerant.
Always replace used O-rings.
When connecting tube, apply oil to circle of the O-ri ngs shown in illustration. Be careful not to apply
oil to threaded portion.
Oil name: NISSAN A/C System Oil Type S or equivalent
O-ring must be closely attached to dented portion of tube.
When replacing the O-ring, be careful not to damage O-ring and tube.
Connect tube until you hear it cl ick, then tighten the nut or bolt by hand until snug. Make sure that
the O-ring is installed to tube correctly.
After connecting line, conduct leak test and make sure that there is no leakage from connections.
When the gas leaking point is f ound, disconnect that line and replace the O-ring. Then tighten con-
nections of seal seat to the specified torque.

PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Service of Compressor
INFOID:0000000003775293
Plug all openings to prevent moisture and foreign matter from entering.
When the compressor is removed, store it in th e same position as it is when mounted on the car.
When replacing or repairing compressor, follow “Maintenance of Oil Quantity in Compressor”
exactly. Refer to HA-22, "Maintenance of Oil Quantity in Compressor"
.
Keep friction surfaces between clut ch and pulley clean. If the surface is contaminated with oil, wipe
it off by using a clean waste cloth moistened with thinner.
After compressor service operation, turn the compressor shaft by hand more than 5 turns in both
directions. This will equally dist ribute oil inside the compressor. After the compressor is installed,
let the engine idle and oper ate the compressor for 1 hour.
After replacing the compressor magnet clutch, ap ply voltage to the new one and check for normal
operation. Refer to HA-32, "Removal and Installa tion for Compressor Clutch"
.

The oil contained inside the vacuum pump is not compatible with the
specified oil for HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C systems. The vent side of
the vacuum pump is exposed to atmospheric pressure so the vac-
uum pump oil may migrate out of the pump into the service hose.
This is possible when the pump is switched off after evacuation (vac-
uuming) and hose is connected to it.
To prevent this migration, use a manual valve situated 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 manual 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 hos e is connected, the valve is open
and lubricating oil may migrate.
Some one-way valves open when vacuum is applied and close
under a 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 (R-134a or
134a). Make sure the gauge set has 1/2 ″-16 ACME threaded con-
nections for service hoses. Confirm the set has been used only with
refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a) along with specified oil.
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 the manifold gauge.

< PRECAUTION >
PRECAUTIONS
Never attempt to connect HFC-134a (R-134a) service couplers to a
CFC-12 (R-12) A/C system. The HFC-134a (R-134a) couplers will
not properly connect to the CFC-12 (R-12) system. If an improper
connection is attempted, discharging and contamination may occur.
REFRIGERANT WEIGHT SCALE
Verify that no refrigerant other than HFC134a (R-134a) and specified
oils have been used with the scale. If the scale controls refrigerant
flow electronically, the hose fitting must be 1/2”-16 ACME.
CHARGING CYLINDER
Using a charging cylinder is not recommended. Refrigerant may be vented into air from cylinder's top valve
when filling the cylinder with refrigerant. Also, the accu racy of the cylinder is generally less than that of an
electronic scale or of quality recycle/recharge equipment.

Special Service ToolINFOID:0000000003775295
The actual shapes of Kent-Moore tools may differ fr om those of special service tools illustrated here.
HFC-134a (R-134a) Service Tool and EquipmentINFOID:0000000003775296
Never mix HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant and/or the spec ified oil with CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant and/or the
oil.
Separate and non-interchangeable service equipment must be used for handling each type of refrigerant/oil.
Refrigerant container fittings, service hose fittings and service equipment fittings (equipment which handles
refrigerant and/or oil) are different between CFC-12 (R-12) and HFC-134a (R-134a). This is to avoid mixed
use of the refrigerants/oil.
Adapters that convert one size fitti ng to another must never be used refrigerant/oil contamination will occur
and compressor failure will result.
