COMPRESSOR
Reinstalling the original Compressor
1. Drain and measure the refrigerant oil
contained in the compressor.
2. Charge oil through the discharge port of the
compressor with the same amount of new
refrigerant oil.
NOTE:
If the amount of oil in the original compressor was
not checked, then approximately 120cc of new oil
should be added to the compressor being installed.
(This is assuming the compressor being installed
has first been drained).
INSTALLING A NEW COMPRESSOR
1. Drain and measure refrigerant oil from the
original compressor drain plug.
2. Drain factory installed refrigerant oil from new
Compressor drain plug (total lubricant quantity 265
cc).
3. Measure the same amount of new refrigerant oil
that was drained from the original compressor.
Install this amount of oil into the new compressor
through the suction / discharge port whilst turning
the compressor clutch pulley front face.
NOTE:
For installation and drive arrangement refer
Engine section.
EVAPORATOR OR CONDENSER
Drain as much of the original oil as possible from
the evaporator or condenser. Add the same
amount of new refrigerant oil, either to the
original or new evaporator or condenser.
If replacing condenser - add approximately 20cc
oil. If replacing evaporator - add approximately
20cc oil.
FILTER - DRIER RECEIVER (FDR)
If replacing the FDR - add approximately 20cc oil.
The FDR must be replaced whenever the system
has been opened to the atmosphere for repair.
BLOWN OR RUPTURED PIPE / HOSE
When replacement is required add approximately
10 cc oil each. If slow leak through any joint.
