- Never allow lubricant (A/C System Oil Type R) to come in contact with styrene foam parts. Damage
may result.
REFRIGERANT CONNECTION
A new type refrigerant connection has been introduced to a ll refrigerant lines except the following location.
Expansion valve to evaporator
Refrigerant pressure sensor to liquid tank
WARNING:
Check that 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:
Observe the following when replacing or cleaning refrigerant cycle components.
Store it in the same way at it is when mounted on the car when the compressor is removed. Failure
to do so will cause lubricant to enter the low-pressure chamber.
Use always a torque wrench and a b ack-up wrench when connecting tubes.
Plug immediately all openings to prevent entry of dust and mois ture after disconnecting tubes.
Connect the pipes at the final stag e of the operation when installing an air conditioner in the vehicle.
Never remove the seal caps of pipes and other compon ents until just before required for connection.
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.
Remove thoroughly moisture from the refriger ation system before charging the refrigerant.
Replace always used O-rings.
Apply lubricant to circle of th e O-rings shown in illustration when connecting tube. Be careful not to
apply lubricant to threaded portion.
O-ring must be closely attached to the groove portion of tube.
Be careful not to damage O-ring and tube when replacing the O-ring.
Connect tube until a click can be heard. Then tighten the nut or bolt by hand. Check that the O-ring is
installed to tube correctly.
Perform leakage test and make sure that there is no leakage from connections after connecting line.
Disconnect that line and replace the O-ring when the refrigerant leaking point is found. Then tighten
connections of seal seat to the specified torque.
COMPRESSOR
CAUTION:
Plug all openings to prevent moisture and foreign matter from entering.
Store it in the same way at it is when moun ted on the car when the compressor is removed.
Follow “MAINTENANCE OF LUBRICANT LEVEL IN CO MPRESSOR” exactly when replacing or repair-
ing compressor. Refer to HA-22, "
Description".
Keep friction surfaces between clutch and pulley cl ean. Wipe it off by using a clean waste cloth
moistened with thinner if the surface is contaminated with lubricant.
