SERVICE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES
TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE CHECKN2ZFOACCheck the inflation pressure of the tires. If it is not within the
standard value, make the necessary adjustment.
TIRE WEAR CHECKN2zFsABMeasure the tread depth of tires.Limit:
1.6 mm (.06 in,)If the remaining tread depth is less than the limit, replace the
tire.
NOTEWhen the tread depth of tires is reduced to 1.6 mm
(.06 in.) or
less, wear indicators will appear.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALUMINUM TYPE
WHEELSUzzGfM
1. Aluminum is vulnerable to alkalies. If a vehicle
washing detergent has been used, or salt from
sea water or road chemicals has adhered, washthe vehicle as soon as possible. After washing
the vehicle, apply body or wheel wax to the
aluminum type wheels to prevent corrosion.
2. When cleaning the vehicle with steam, do not
direct steam onto the aluminum type wheels.
When tightening nuts for aluminum type
wheels, particularly observe the following:
(1) Clean the hub surface of aluminum type
wheels.(2) After finger-tightening wheel nuts, tighten
them to specifications.
(3) Do not use an impact wrench or push the
wrench by foot to tighten the wheel nuts.
(4) Do not apply oil to the threaded portions.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR TIRE CHAINS AND
SNOW TIRESNZZGGAA
1.Use tire chains only on front wheels. Do not usetire chains on rear wheels.
2. When using snow tires, use them on all four
wheels for maneuverability and safety.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPACT SPARE
TIRE;c.1. The compact spare tire is designed to. save
space in the luggage compartment, and its
L’lighter weight makes it easier to use if a fiat tire
occurs.
2.The following instructions for the compact sparetire should be observed.
(1) Check the inflation pressure after installing
the spare, and adjust to the specified pres-
sure.(2) Avoid driving through automatic car washes
and over obstacles that could possibly dam-
age the vehicle’s undercarriage. Because
the tire is smaller than the original tire, car
ground clearance is slightly reduced.
(3) The compact spare tire should not be used
on any other wheels, nor should standard
tires, snow tires, wheel covers or trim rings
be used with the compact spare wheel. If
such use is attempted, damage to these
items or other vehicle components may
occur.

HEATERS AND AIR CONDITIONING - Service Adjustment Procedures 241$19Oil collector can
2OAO464DISCHARGING SYSTEM
Since the air conditioning refrigerant system is pressurized, it
will be necessary to completely discharge the system (in a wellventilated area) before replacing any refrigerant component.
The procedure is as follows:
(1) Install manifold gauge set. Make sure the gauge set valves
are closed before attaching the hoses to the refrigerant
system.(2) Install a long hose to the manifold gauge set connector.
Run this hose to the oil collector can near a shop exhaust
system.A good oil collector can may be made from a large empty
coffee can with a plastic top. Slit the plastic top in the formof a
Y to make an entrance for the refrigerant hose and an
exit for the gas.
(3) Open the compressor discharge and suction line pressure
valves and blow the refrigerant into the oil collector can.
Watch to make sure the hose does not blow out of the
collector can.
(4) When the system has been completely discharged, mea-
sure the amount of oil collected in the can. The amount of
oil measured should be added to the refrigerant system
before it is re-charged. Add new oil-discard the used oil.
CautionIt is important to have the correct amount of oil in the
refrigerant system.
Too little oil will provide inadequate compressor lubrication
and cause a compressor failure. Too much oil will increasedischarge air temperature.
When a IOPAI 7 compressor is installed at the factory, it
contains 80 cc (4.8
cu.in.) of refrigerant oil. While the air
conditioning system is in operation, the oil is carried
through the entire system by the refrigerant.
Some of this oil will be trapped and retained in various partsof the system.
When the following system components are changed, it is
necessary to add oil to the system to replace the oil being
removed with the component.
Compressor:30 cc (1.8 cu.in.1
Condenser:20 cc (1.2 cu.in.1
Evaporator:30 cc (1.8 cu.in.)
Piping:10 cc (.6 cu.in.1Receiver drier: 10 cc
(.6 cu.in.1

24-22 HEATERS AND AIR CONDITIONING - Service Adjustment Procedures(9) Charge through the suction side of the system by slowly
opening the suction manifold valve. Adjust the valve as
necessary so charging pressure does not exceed 345
kPa 6(50 psi). Maintain the temperature of the water in the pan w’
by adding warm water as necessary.
Note the weight of water added, to ensure accuracy when
determining amount of refrigerant added to system.
(lO)When specified refrigerant charge Max. 925
g (32 oz.) has
entered the system, close the gauge set manifold valves,
refrigerant manifold valves, and
reconnnect wiring. Each
can contains 397
g (14 oz.) of R-l 2. Use 2 l/2 cans.

Liquid lineHigh pressure hose
20A0440Kinks in the refrigerant tubing or sharp bends in the
refrigerant hose lines will greatly reduce the capac-
ity of the entire system. High pressures are pro-
duced 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 discharged. 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 atleast once a year to make sure they are in good
condition and properly routed.
Unified plumbing connections with O-rings. These
O-rings are not reusable.
