CAUTION

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

ASSEMBLY 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 mL 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 = 60mL

60 mL

− X mL = Y mL

NOTE: Y mL indicates the amount of oil in the refrig-
erant line, the condenser, the evaporator, etc.

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.
