REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION (Continued)
CLUTCH BREAK-IN
After installing a new field coil-core, check for cor-
rect voltage/amperage. Cycle the A/C clutch approxi-
mately 20 times (5 seconds on and 5 seconds off). For
this procedure run engine at 1,500 to 2,000 rpm and
set the system to MAX A/C mode. This procedure will
seat the opposing friction surfaces and provide a
higher clutch torque capability.
CONDENSER
The condenser is located between the radiator and
the front bumper. The condenser can be serviced
without having to drain the cooling system or remove
the radiator.
WARNING: AVOID BREATHING A/C REFRIGERANT
AND LUBRICANT VAPOR OR MIST. EXPOSURE MAY
IRRITATE EYES, NOSE AND THROAT. USE ONLY

SYSTEM SHOULD NOT BE PRESSURE TESTED OR
LEAK TESTED WITH COMPRESSED AIR. SOME
MIXTURES OF AIR/R-134a HAVE BEEN SHOWN TO
BE COMBUSTIBLE AT ELEVATED PRESSURES.
THESE MIXTURES ARE POTENTIALLY DANGER-
OUS AND MAY RESULT IN FIRE OR EXPLOSION
CAUSING INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
REMOVAL
(1) Remove refrigerant from the A/C system using
a refrigerant recovery machine.
(2) Disconnect and cap A/C lines at the condenser.
