7. CHECK THE EVAPORATOR
ASSEMBLY
1) Use one or both of the following methods to
check the evaporator assembly.
2) Remove the drain hose from the case drain
nipple. Hold the probe at the end of the case drain
nipple for at least 10 seconds. Be certain to recon-
nect the drain hose when finished.
3) With the ignition key in the ªACCº position, run
the blower on high speed for 1 minute, then turn
the blower off. Place the probe in the center instru-

A: ADJUSTMENT
1. SYSTEM OIL STABILIZATION
1) Prior to opening the refrigerant system for
repairs (except compressor seizure) the system
must be stabilized for correct oil replenishment.
2) Follow these procedures:
(1) Engine speed set to 1,500 rpm
(2) A/C ªONº
(3) Air source to recirculate
(4) Blower in 4th or high speed position
IMake sure the air entering the evaporator is
above 26.7ÉC (80ÉF).
IThe discharge (high) side pressure must be
above 588 kPa (6 kg/cm
2, 85 psi).
(5) Operate the A/C for 10 minutes.
2. SYSTEM DISCHARGE
Slowly, discharge the system starting with the high-
pressure side until the pressure drops below 345
kPa (3.52 kg/cm
2, 50 psi), then open the low-pres-
sure side.

1. OIL REPLACEMENT
1) After stabilization and discharge, replace the
component, adding the appropriate amount of oil
(ZXL200PG) to the new component before instal-
lation.

2) If the compressor is replaced (after stabiliza-
tion):
(1) Drain and measure the oil from the original
compressor.
(2) Drain the oil from the replacement compres-
sor and refill with the same amount that was
drained from the original [20 m(0.7 US fl oz,
0.7 Imp fl oz) minimum]. Always use ZXL200PG
for the replacement oil.
