COMPRESSOR INSTALLATION

PROCEDURE


  1. ADJUST AMOUNT OF COMPRESSOR OIL

    A004QXQ

    1. When replacing the compressor assembly with a new one:

      Drain the following amount of compressor oil from the new compressor to be installed to adjust the amount of compressor oil.

      Standard (Amount of oil to be drained when replacing)
      50 cc (1.7 fl.oz)

      Note


      • Since compressor oil remains in the pipes of the vehicle, if a new compressor is installed without removing some oil from the compressor, the oil amount becomes excessive. Excessive oil prevents heat exchange in the refrigerant cycle and causes refrigeration system failure.

      • Be sure to use ND-OIL8 or equivalent for compressor oil.


      1. Discharge the inert gas (helium) from the service valve.

      2. Remove the suction seal cap.

      3. Position the suction port downward and slightly shake the compressor to drain oil.*1

        Note

        Be careful not to allow compressor oil to adhere to the pulley.

    2. A004O93

      Position the pulley side downward and turn the pulley in the direction indicated by the arrow once every 2 seconds 10 times.*2

      Note

      Keep your face away from the compressor port because turning the pulley may cause gas or oil to spew out.

    3. A004N9Q

      Quickly position the pulley side upward and turn the pulley in the direction indicated by the arrow once.*3

    4. Repeat procedure *1.*4

    5. Repeat procedures *2 through *4 approximately 5 times to drain the standard amount of oil.

  2. INSTALL COMPRESSOR ASSEMBLY WITH PULLEY
