caution
  • Use the plug which is not breathable because A/C compressor oil or receiver have high hygroscopicity.
  • For the compressor oil and installation oil for the piping O-ring, use the oil MA68EV dedicated for the A/C compressor EV30AN3. If an oil other then the MA68EV is used, even if it is only a small amount, the electric insulation is considerably deteriorated and a leakage may occur.
Plug the removed nipple of the pipe, hose and expansion valve to prevent the entry of dust and dirt.
