the following items.
If you're installing a new evaporator, add refrig-
erant oil (ND-OIL 8) (see page 22-73).
Replace the O-rings with new ones at each fitting,
and apply a thin coat of refrigerant oil before
installing them.
NOTE: Be sure to use the right O-rings for HFC-
134a (R-134a) to avoid leakage.
Install the capillary tube along the suction line.
NOTE: Be careful not to damage or bend the
capillary tube.
Apply sealant to the grommets.
Make sure that there is no air leakage.
Charge the system (see page 22-89), and test its
performance (see page 22-76).
