LOW CHARGE~
If the system has not lost all of its refrigerant charge; locate and
repair all leaks. If it is necessary to increase the system
pressure to find the leak (because of an especially low charge)
‘iaadd of refrigerant. If it is oossible to reoair the leak without
discharging-the refrigerant system, use the procedure for
correcting low refrigerant level.
HANDLING TUBING AND FITTINGSM55FlAFKinks in the refrigerant tubing or sharp bends in the refrigerant
hose lines will greatly reduce the capacity of the entire system.
High pressures are produced in the system when it is
operating. Extreme care must be exercised to make sure that
all connections are pressure tight. Dirt and moisture can enter
the system when it is opened for repair or replacement of lines
or components. The following precautions must be observed.
The system must be completely discharged before opening
any fitting of connection in the refrigeration system. Open
fittings with caution even after the system has been dis-
charged. If any pressure is noticed as a fitting is loosened, allow
trapped pressure to bleed off very slowly.
Never attempt to rebend formed lines to fit. Use the correct
line for the installation you are servicing.
A good rule for the flexible hose lines is keep the radius of all
bends at least 10 times the diameter of the hose.
Sharper bends will reduce the flow of refrigerant. The flexible
hose lines should be routed so that they are at least 80 mm (3
in.) from the exhaust manifold. It is good practice to inspect all
flexible hose lines at least once a year to make sure they are in
good condition and properly routed.

COMPRESSOR NOISEM55FlAD
When investigating an air conditioning related noise, you must
first know the conditions when the noise occurs. These
conditions are: weather, vehicle speed, in gear on neutral,
engine temperature or any other special conditions.
Noises that develop during air conditioning operation can often
be misleading. For example: what sounds like a failed front
bearing or connecting rod. may be caused by loose bolts, nuts,
mounting brackets, or a loose clutch assembly. Verify acces-
sory drive belt tension (power steering or alternator).
Improper accessory drive belt tension can cause a misleading
noise when the compressor is engaged and little or no noise
when the compressor is disengaged.
Drive belts are speed sensitive. That is, at different engine
speeds, and depending upon belt tension, belts can develop
unusual noises that are often mistaken for mechanical prob-
lems within the compressor.
