RECOVER REFRIGERANT FROM REFRIGERATION SYSTEM
Start the engine.
Operate the cooler compressor under the conditions shown below:
| Item | Condition |
|---|---|
| Engine Speed | Idling |
| Operating Time | 3 minutes or more |
| A/C Switch Status | On |
| Blower Switch Status | HI |
| Set Temperature | MAX COOL |
This causes most of the compressor oil from the various components of the A/C system to collect in the A/C compressor.
Note
It is not necessary to operate the cooler compressor if the A/C does not operate because of compressor lock, etc.
Stop the engine.
Recover the refrigerant from the A/C system using a refrigerant recovery unit.
Tech Tips
Use the refrigerant recovery unit in accordance with the manufacturer's instruction manual.
