When setting the compressor into the unit, be careful not to cause any abnormal
deformation of the tube-with-flare-nut.
At this time, also check for leaks at the flare nut connection on the tube-with-flare-nut.
Be sure to check for looseness of the power terminal connections at the compressor
terminal plate, and to check by pulling vertically on the connections. If the terminals
become disconnected easily, replace the wiring Assy.
