NOTE:
1. It is very important that the liquid gaskets listed above or their exact equivalent be used on the vehicle.
2. Be careful to use the specified amount of liquid gasket.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions at all times.
3. Be absolutely sure to remove all lubricants and moisture from the connecting surfaces before applying
the liquid gasket.
The connecting surfaces
must be perfectly dry.
4. Do not apply LOCTITE 17430, LOCTITE 515 and LOCTITE 518 between two metal surfaces having a
clearance
of greater than 0.25 mm (0.01 in). Poor adhesion will result.

Leak at Refrigerant Line Connections
1. Check the torque on the refrigerant line fitting
and, if too loose, tighten to the specified torque.
• Use two wrenches to prevent twisting and
damage to the line.
•
Do not over tighten.
2. Perform a leak test on the refrigerant line fitting.
3. If the leak is still present, discharge and recover
the refrigerant from the system.
4. Replace the 0-rings.
• 0-rings cannot be reused. Always replace
with new ones.
• Be sure to apply specified compressor oil to
the new 0-rings.
5. Retighten the refrigerant line fitting to the spe
cified torque.
• Use two wrenches to prevent twisting and
damage to the line.
6. Evacuate, charge and retest the system.
Leaks in the Hose
If the compressor inlet or outlet hose is leaking, the
entire hose must be replaced. Refrigerant hose must
not be cut or spliced for repair.
1.

5.
Locate the leak.
Discharge and recover the refrigerant.
Remove
the hose assembly.
• Cap the open connections at once.
Connect
the new hose assembly.
•
Use two wrenches to prevent twisting or
damage to the hose fitting.
• Tighten the hose fitting to the specified
torque.
Evacuate, charge and test the system.
Compressor Leaks
If leaks are located around the compressor shaft seal
or shell, replace or repair the compressor.
Recovery, Recycling, Evacuation and Charging
Handling HFC-134a:
Air conditioning systems contain HFC-134a.
This is a chemical mixture which requires special
handling procedures to avoid personal injury.
• Always wear safety goggles and protective
gloves.
•
Always work in a well-ventilated area. Do not
weld or steam clean on or near any vehicle
installed air conditioning lines or components.
• If HFC-134a should come in contact with any part
of the body, flush the exposed area with cold
water and immediately seek medical help.
•
If it is necessary to transport or carry any
container of HFC-134a in a vehicle, do not carry it
in the passenger compartment.
• If it is necessary to fill a small HFC-134a container
from a large one, never fill the container com
pletely. Space should always be allowed above
the liquid for expansion.
• HFC-134a and R-12 should never be mixed as their
compositions are not the same.
• HFC-134a PAG oil tends to absorb moisture more
quickly than R-12 mineral oil and, therefore,
should be handled more carefully.
•
Keep HFC-134a containers stored below 40°C
(100°F).
WARNING: • SHOULD
HFC-134a CONTACT YOUR EYE(S),
CONSULT
A DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY.
•
DO NOT RUB THE AFFECTED EYE(S). INSTEAD,
SPLASH QUANTITIES
OF FRESH COLD WATER
OVER THE AFFECTED AREA TO GRADUALLY
RAISE THE TEMPERATURE OF THE RE
FRIGERANT ABOVE THE FREEZING POINT.
• OBTAIN
PROPER MEDICAL TREATMENT AS
SOON
AS POSSIBLE. SHOULD THE HFC-134a
TOUCH THE SKIN, THE INJURY MUST BE
TREATED THE SAME AS SKIN WHICH HAS BEEN
FROSTBITTEN OR FROZEN.

Perform system leak test.
• Charge the system with approx. 200 g (0.44
lbs) of HFC-134a.
• Make sure the high pressure valve of the
manifold gauge is closed.
• Check
to ensure that the degree of pressure
does
not change.
• Check for refrigerant leaks by using a HFC-
134a leak detector.
• If a leak occurs, recover the refrigerant. Repair
the leak, and start all over again from the first
step of evacuation.
If no leaks are found, continue charging re
frigerant to the air conditioning system.
• Charge the refrigerant until the scale reading
decreases
by the amount of the charge
specified.
Specified
amount g (lbs.) I 750 (1.65)
• If charging the system becomes difficult:
( 1) Run the engine at idle and close all the
vehicle doors.
(2) Turn A!C switch "ON".
(3) Set the fan switch to its highest position.
(4) Set air source selector lever to "CIRC".
(5) Slowly open the low side valve on the
manifold gauge set.
WARNING: BE ABSOLUTELY SURE NOT TO
OPEN THE HIGH PRESSURE VALVE OF THE
MANIFOLD GAUGE. SHOULD THE HIGH
PRESSURE VALVE BE OPENED, THE HIGH
PRESSURE REFRIGERANT WOULD FLOW
BACKWARD, AND
THIS MAY CAUSE THE
REFRIGERANT CONTAINER TO BURST.
8. When finished with the refrigerant charging,
close the low pressure valve of the manifold
gauge and container valve.
9. Check for refrigerant leaks.
AIR CONDITIONING 18 -23
Checking
the A/C system
1. Run the engine and close all the vehicle doors.
2. Turn A!C switch "ON", set the fan switch to its
highest position, set air source
lever to "CIRD"
and set temperature lever to full cool position.
3. Check the high and low pressure of the manifold
gauge.
• Immediately after charging refrigerant, both
high and low pressure are slightly high, but
they settle down to the pressure guidelines
shown below:
Ambient temperature: 25-30°C (77 -86°F)
Pressure guidelines:
• High-pressure side;
Approx. 1372.9-1863.3kPa (199.1-270.2psi)
• Low-pressure side;
Approx. 147.1-294.2 kPa (21.3-42.7 psi)
• If an abnormal pressure is found, refer to
"CHECKING REFRIGERANT SYSTEM WITH
MANIFOLD
GAUGE" in this section.
4. Put your hand in front of the air outlet and move
the temperature control lever of the control
panel
to different positions. Check if the outlet
temperature changes as selected by the control
knob.

COMPRESSOR OVERHAUL 10-3
GENERAL INFORMATION
COMPRESSOR OIL
OIL SPECIFICATION
• The HFC-134a system requires a synthetic
(PAG) compressor oil whereas the R-12 system
requires a
mineral compressor oil. The two oils
must never be mixed.
• Compressor (PAG) oil varies according to com
pressor model. Be sure to use oil specified for
the model of compressor.
• Always use HFC-134a Vane Rotary Type Com
pressor Oil
(AIPDN Part No. 2-90188-301-0)
HANDLING OF OIL
• The oil should be free from moisture, dust,
metal powder, etc.
• Do not mix with other oil.
•
The water content in the oil increases when
exposed to the air. After use, seal oil from air
immediately.
(HFC-134a Vane Rotary Compressor Oil absorbs
moisture very easily.)
•
The compressor oil must be stored in steel
containers, not in plastic containers.
COMPRESSOR OIL CHECK
The oil used to lubricate the compressor is circul
ating with the refrigerant.
Whenever replacing any component of the system
or a large amount of gas leakage occurs, add oil to
maintain the original amount of oil.
Oil Capacity.
Capacity
total in system 150cc (5.0 fl.oz.)
Compressor (Service
parts)
charging amount 15 0cc (5
·0
fl.oz.)
Checking and Adjusting for Used Compressor
1. Perform Oil return operation.
(Refer to "Oil Return Operation" in this section.)
2. Discharge and recover refrigerant and remove
the compressor.
3. Drain the compressor oil and measure the
extracted oil with a measuring cylinder (Fig. 1 D-
2).
Fig. 1D-2
4. If the amount of oil drained is much less than
90cc (3.0 fl.oz.), some refrigerant may have
leaked out. Conduct leak tests on connections of
each system, and if necessary, repair or replace
faulty parts.
5. Check the compressor oil for contamination.
(Refer to "Contamination of Compressor Oil" in
this section.)
6. Adjust oil level following the procedure below
(Fig. 1 D-3).
Collected Amount
more than 90cc
(3.0 fl.oz.)
Charging Amount
same as collected amount
less than 90cc (3.0 fl.oz.) 90cc (3.0 fl.oz.)
7. Install the compressor, then evacuate, charge
and
perform oil return operation.
8. Check system operation.
When it is impossible to perform oil return oper
ation, the compressor oil should be checked in the
following order:
1. Discharge and recover refrigerant and remove
the compressor.
2. Drain the compressor oil and measure the
extracted oil with a measuring cylinder.
3. Check the oil for contamination.
4. If more than 90cc (3.0 fl.oz.) of oil is extracted
from the compressor, supply same amount of
oil to the compressor to be installed.
If
the amount of oil extracted is less than 90cc
(3.0 fl.oz.),
recheck the compressor oil in the
following order:
5. Supply 90cc (3.0 fl.oz.) of oil to the compressor
and install it onto the vehicle.
