REMOVAL SERVICE POINTS

<<A>> A/C COMPRESSOR DISCHARGE HOSE
AND A/C COMPRESSOR SUCTION HOSE DIS-

Use the plug which is not breathable because A/
C compressor oil or receiver have high hygro-
scopicity.
Plug the removed nipple of the pipe to prevent the
entry of dust and dirt.

<<C>> A/C COMPRESSOR AND CLUTCH
ASSEMBLY REMOVAL
Be careful not to spill the A/C compressor oil and
remove the A/C compressor.

INSTALLATION SERVICE POINT

>>A<< A/C COMPRESSOR AND CLUTCH
ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION
When installing the new A/C compressor, install the
A/C compressor after adjusting the oil volume as fol-
lows.
1. Measure the oil of A/C compressor removed.(X

mL)

2. Drain the oil (Y mL) given by the following

expression from a new A/C compressor, and then
install the A/C compressor.
120 mL - X mL = Y mL
NOTE:

.

•

120 mL shows the oil volume contained in the
new A/C compressor.

•

Y mL shows the oil volume stored in the refrig-
erant line, condenser, and cooling unit, etc.

A/C compressor clutch connector

AB

Connect the connector battery to positive battery ter-
minal in the A/C compressor, and then earth the bat-
tery (

−) terminal to the A/C compressor itself. At this

time, check that the magnetic clutch operating sound
can be heard.
