AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
CAUTION:
PRECAUTIONS WHEN CHARGING
REFRIGERANT
1.
DO NOT OPERATE COMPRESSOR WITHOUT
ENOUGH REFRIGERANT IN REFRIGERANT
SYSTEM
If there is not enough refrigerant in the refrigerant
system oil lubrication will be insufficient and compres–
sor burnout may occur, so take care to avoid this.
2.
DO NOT OPEN HIGH PRESSURE MANIFOLD VALVE
WHILST COMPRESSOR IS OPERATING
If the high pressure valve is opened, refrigerant flows
in the reverse direction and could cause the charging
cylinder to rupture, so open and close the low pres–
sure valve only.
3.
BE CAREFUL NOT TO OVERCHARGE WITH RE–
FRIGERANT IN SYSTEM
If refrigerant is overcharged, it causes problems such
as insufficient cooling, poor fuel economy, engine
overheating etc.
ELECTRICAL PARTS
Before removing and inspecting the electrical parts,
set the ignition switch to the LOCK position and
disconnect the negative (–) terminal cable from bat–
tery.
CAUTION: Work must be started after 90 seconds from
the time the Ignition switch is turned to the "LOCK"
position and the negative (–) terminal cable is discon–
nected from the battery.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Be sure to connect both the high and low pressure
quick–connectors onto the A/C system when eva–
cuating. If only one side is connected, the system
would be open to atmosphere through the other
connector, making it impossible to maintain
vacuum.
Be sure to turn off the manifold gauge valve imme–
diately after evacuating the system. Then you may
switch off the vacuum pump.
