7. Install in the reverse order of removal, and note of
these items.
• If you're installing a new evaporator, add refrig-
erant oil (SP-1O) (see page 22-54).
• Replace the O-rings with new ones at each fit-
ting, and apply a thin coat of refrigerant oil
before installing them. Be sure to use the right
a-rings for HFC-134a (R-134al to avoid leakage.
• Apply sealant to the grommets.
• Make sure that there is no air leakage.
• Charge the system (see page 22-61), and test its
performance (see page 22-56).
