REMOVAL SERVICE POINTS

caution

Use the plug which is not breathable because A/C compressor oil or receiver have high hygroscopicity.

Plug the removed nipple of the pipe to prevent the entry of dust and dirt.

caution

To reuse the drive belt, draw an arrow indicating the rotating direction (to the right) on the back of the belt using chalk, etc.

Turn the adjusting bolt anti-clockwise (in the left turn), and remove the drive belt.

Be careful not to spill the A/C compressor oil and remove the A/C compressor.

When installing the new A/C compressor, install the A/C compressor after adjusting the oil volume as follows.

1.Measure the oil of A/C compressor removed.(X mL)

2.Drain the oil (Y mL) given by the following expression from a new A/C compressor, and then install the A/C compressor.
120 mL - X mL = Y mL

note

120 mL shows the oil volume contained in the new A/C compressor.
Y mL shows the oil volume stored in the refrigerant line, condenser, and cooling unit, etc.
