Component Replacement Notes




A/C Refrigerant System (R-134a) Components, Replacing

Replacement A/C compressors, evaporators and condensers supplied by the Parts Dept. are filled with nitrogen. If gas does not escape when component is first opened, the component may be faulty, do not install.

Replace receiver drier whenever refrigerant system is open. Install receiver drier immediately after opening to prevent moisture contamination of drier desiccant.

Always plug open refrigerant line connections to prevent dirt and moisture contamination.

For damaged or leaky refrigerant hoses, lines, compressor, evaporator or condenser, blow through component with compressed air and collect refrigerant oil that runs out.

Fill compressor with specified type and quantity of refrigerant oil (PAG oil).
