Inspection Points

CAUTION: It is important to thouroughly check the system for refrigerant leaks. Use the following guidelines to do so:

^ Inspection points - Carefully check each of the pipe joints. To check, wipe the portion to be inspected with waste cloth, then move the tester probe around the joint.

^ Compressor - Check the shaft seals and bolt holes, and also around the magnet clutch.

^ Receiver drier - Check the pressure valve, safety valve and the fusible plug mounts.

^ Service valve [Charge port] - Check all around the charge valve. Ensure that the charge port valve is not loose. The service valve cap must be attached to the valve to prevent leakage. Also check that there is no foreign material inside the cap.

^ Inside the cooling unit - To check, insert the leak tester probe into the drain hose immediately after stopping the engine. Keep the probe inserted for more than 10 seconds.
