Assembling is carried out in the reverse order, when doing this note the following:

- Replace O-ring seal - C -. Refer to=> [ Refrigerant Circuit O-rings ] Refrigerant Circuit O-Rings and Electronic Parts Catalog.

- Check fitted pin - E - and bushing - F - for damage and proper seating.

• Coat the O-ring seals lightly with refrigerant oil prior to installation. Refer to=> [ Refrigerant Circuit O-rings ] Refrigerant Circuit O-Rings.

• Check O-ring seals for proper seating in groove - D - of respective refrigerant line.






• Install refrigerant pipes such that they are not strained.

- Evacuate and re-charge refrigerant circuit.

- Operate the A/C system after filling the refrigerant circuit. Refer to=> [ A/C System, Operating After Filling Refrigerant Circuit ] Procedures.
