Removal

During overhaul procedures, ensure all openings are plugged to prevent entry of foreign material. Do not tilt compressor more than 45 degrees in any direction for more than 10 minutes as this may cause lubricating oil to enter the cylinder, and if compressor were to be operated in this condition, damage would result. To expel oil from cylinder, manually operate compressor while installed in vehicle.
