INSTALLATION SERVICE POINT

.

>>A<< COMPRESSOR INSTALLATION
If a new compressor is installed, first adjust the amount of oil
according to the procedures described below, and then install
the compressor.
1. Measure the amount [X cm

3

(X fl.oz) of oil within the

removed compressor.

2. Drain (from the new compressor) the amount of oil

calculated according to the following formula, and then
install the new compressor.
New compressor oil amount = 140cm

2

(4.7 fl.oz)

140 cm

3

− X cm

= Y cm

3

(4.7 fl.oz.

− X fl.oz. = Y fl.oz)

NOTE: Y cm

3

(Y fl.oz) indicates the amount of oil in the refrig-

erant line, the condenser, the evaporator, etc.
NOTE: When replacing the following parts at the same times as
the compressor, subtract the rated oil amount of each part from
Y cm

3

(Y fl.oz) and discharge from the new compressor.

Quantity:

Evaporator: 60 cm

(2.0 fl.oz)

Condenser: 15 cm

COMPRESSOR AIR CONDITIONING
COMPRESSOR CLUTCH OPERATION CHECK

Connect the compressor connector terminal to the battery posi-
tive (+) terminal and ground the battery’s negative (-) terminal
to the compressor unit. At that time, the air conditioning com-
pressor clutch should make a definite operating sound.

ASSEMBLY SERVICE POINTS

.

>>A<< FIELD CORE ATTACHMENT
Line up the pin hole on the compressor unit with the field core
projection and attach.

.

>>B<< SNAP RING INSTALLATION
Using snap ring pliers, fit the snap ring so that the snap ring’s
tapered part is on the outside.

.

>>C<< SELF-LOCKING NUT INSTALLATION
Using a special tool, as when removing the nut, secure the
armature and tighten the self-locking nut.

.

>>D<< AIR GAP ADJUSTMENT
Apply voltage from the battery to the air conditioning compres-
sor clutch and check that the clutch air gap is inside the stan-
dard value. If outside the standard value, use a shim to adjust
the gap.

Standard value:

0.3

− 0.5 mm (0.012 − 0.020 inch)

COOLING TEMPRATURE SWITCH

CAUTION

Do not heat more than necessary.
1. Dip the metal part of the cooling temperature switch into

engine oil and increase the oil temperature using a gas
burner or similar.

2. When the oil temperature reaches the standard value, check

that voltage is supplied between the terminals.

Standard value:

NOTE: When the oil temperature is 155

°

C (311

°

F) or more

and there is no continuity, the resistance will not be 2

or

lower until the oil temperature reduces to 125
