It is important to follow the installation instruction to make sure of the AC-compressor's position. In case of
wrong installation order, the AC-compressor ends up at an angle. This leads to incorrect loading on the belt
tensioner, as well as displacement of the belt and subsequent belt failure.
Connect the connector.
Install the pipe connections, 2 M8 (1) and (2). Ensure that the O-rings are securely located between the
compressor and the pipes.
Tighten the screws.
