A/C COMPRESSOR SERVICING

1991 GENERAL SERVICING Compressor Service

ISOLATING COMPRESSOR

1. Connect service gauge set to the compressor service valves and open compressor valves slightly (turn in clockwise). Start engine and

operate air conditioning. Slowly turn compressor suction valve clockwise toward closed (front-seated) position.

2. When suction pressure is reduced to zero or less, turn off engine and compressor and quickly turn suction valve stem in to full front-

seated position. Suction pressure should be slightly above zero. Turn discharge valve into front-seated position.

3. To check oil level, slowly open compressor crankcase plug to relieve any remaining pressure. After oil level is corrected, cap service

gauge ports on both valves. Back-seat suction service valve to allow refrigerant to enter compressor. Open discharge valve halfway.

4. Loosen discharge service valve cap, allowing refrigerant pressure to force air out of compressor. Back-seat service valve and tighten cap.

Compressor is now ready for operation.

REFRIGERANT OIL

Only new, pure, moisture-free refrigerant oil should be used in the air conditioning system. This oil is highly refined and dehydrated to a point
where moisture content is less than 10 parts per million. The oil container must be tightly closed at all times when not in use, or moisture will
be absorbed into the refrigerant oil from the air.

DISCHARGING SYSTEM PRECAUTIONS

If compressor has stem-type service valves, it can be isolated and removed without discharging entire system. Otherwise, discharge system
completely using approved refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment before loosening any fittings.

DISCONNECTING LINES & FITTINGS TEST

After system is discharged, carefully clean area around all fittings to be opened. Always use 2 wrenches when tightening or loosening fittings
to avoid twisting or distorting lines. Cap or plug all openings as soon as lines are removed. Do not remove caps until immediately before
connections are made. This will keep entry of air and moisture to a minimum.

CONNECTING LINES AND FITTINGS

A new gasket or "O" ring should be used in all instances when connecting lines or fittings. Dip "O" ring in new refrigerant oil and ensure it is
not twisted during installation. Always use 2 wrenches to prevent damage to lines and fittings.

PLACING SYSTEM IN OPERATION

After component service or replacement has been completed and all connections have been made, evacuate system thoroughly with a vacuum
pump. Charge system with proper amount of refrigerant and perform a leak test. See REFRIGERANT OIL & R-12 SPECIFICATIONS chart in
this section for system capacities. Be sure to check all fittings that have been opened. After system has been leak tested, make a system
performance check.

ATSUGI ROTARY VANE CLUTCH R & I

Removal

When replacing compressor clutch, be careful not to scratch shaft or bend pulley. When removing center bolt, hold clutch disc with Clutch
Holder (KV99231010). Using Hub Puller (KV998VR001 & KV99231010), remove clutch disc. When removing pulley, remove lock nut with
Hub Socket (KV99235160).

Installation

Wipe oil off clutch surface. Adjust disc pulley clearance to .012-.024" (.3-.6 mm). Tighten center bolt to 80-104 INCH lbs. (9.1-11.8 N.m).
Tighten clutch lock nut to 22-29 ft. lbs. (29-39 N.m). See

Fig. 1

.

CAUTION:

When discharging air conditioning system, use only approved refrigerant recovery/recycling
equipment. Make every attempt to avoid discharging refrigerant into the atmosphere.

NOTE:

Only compressors with stem-type service valves can be isolated.

CAUTION:

When discharging air conditioning system, use only approved refrigerant recovery/recycling
equipment. Make every attempt to avoid discharging refrigerant into the atmosphere.

NOTE:

Air conditioning systems will not normally need addition of refrigerant oil unless definite oil loss has
occurred due to ruptured lines, leaking compressor seals, compressor overhaul or component
replacement.
