8. Start the engine.
9. Operate the air conditioner and set at the lowest
temperature (MAX. COOL).
10. Fix the engine speed at 1,500 r/min.
11. Tighten the handle of the adaptor valve (valve open),
and replenish refrigerant while checking the quantity
through the sight glass.
Caution
If the service can is inverted, liquid refrigerant may
be draw into the compressor damaging it by liquid
compression. Keep the service can upright to ensure
that refrigerant is changed in gas state.
12. After replenishing is completed, turn the handle of the
adaptor valve all the way back (valve close), and remove
the quick joint.
NOTE
When there is remainder of refrigerant in the service can,
keep it for next use with the charge value and the valve
of the adaptor valve being closed.
DISCHARGING SYSTEM
Use the refrigerant recovery unit to discharge refrigerant gas
from the system.
NOTE : Refer to the Refrigerant Recovery and Recycling
Unit Instruction Manual for operation of the unit.
REFILLING OF OIL IN THE A/C SYSTEM
Too little oil will provide inadequate compressor lubrication
and cause a compressor failure. Too much oil will increase
discharge air temperature.
When a compressor is installed at the factory, it contains
130 cm
3
of refrigerant oil. While the A/C system is in operation,
the oil is carried through the entire system by the refrigerant.
Some of this oil will be trapped and retained in various parts
of the system.
When the following system components are changed, it is
necessary to add oil to the system to replace the oil being
removed with the component.
Compressor oil: SUN PAG 56

PERFORMANCE TEST
1. The vehicles to be tested should be in a place that is
not in direct sunlight.
2. Close the high and low-pressure valve of the gauge
manifold.
3. Connect the charging hose (blue) to the low-pressure
valve and connect the charging hose (red) to the
high-pressure valve of the gauge manifold.
4. Install the quick joint (for low-pressure) to the charging
hose (blue), and connect the quick joint (for high-pressure)
to the charging hose (red).
5. Connect the quick joint (for low-pressure) to the
low-pressure service valve and connect the quick joint
(for high-pressure) to the high-pressure service valve.
NOTE
The high-pressure service valve is on liquid pipe A and the
low-pressure service valve is on the suction hose.
Caution
To connect the quick joint, press section “A” firmly
against the service valve until a click is heard.
When connecting, run your hand along the hose while
pressing to ensure that there are no bends in the
hose.
6. Start the engine.
7. Set the controls to the A/C as follows:
D
A/C switch: A/C - ON position
D
Mode selection: Face position
D
Temperature control: Max. cooling position
D
Air selection: Recirculation position
D
Blower switch: HI (Fast) position
8. Keep engine speed to idling speed with A/C clutch engaged.
9. Engine should be warmed up with doors and all windows
opened.
10. Insert a thermometer in the center A/C outlet and operate
the engine for 20 minutes.
11. Note the discharge air temperature.
NOTE
If the clutch cycles, take the reading before the clutch
disengages.

REFRIGERANT LEAK REPAIR
LOST CHARGE
If the system has lost all charge due to a leak:
1. Evacuate the system. (See procedure.)
2. Charge the system with approximately one
pound of refrigerant.
3. Check for leaks.
4. Discharge the system.
5. Repair leaks.
6. Replace receiver drier.
Caution
Replacement filter-drier units must be
sealed while in storage. The drier used in
these units will saturate water quickly upon
exposure
to
the
atmosphere.
When
installing a drier, have all tools and supplies
ready for quick reassembly to avoid keeping
the system open any longer than necessary.
7. Evacuate and charge system.
LOW CHARGE
If the system has not lost all of its refrigerant charge;
locate and repair all leaks. If it is necessary to
increase the system pressure to find the leak
(because of an especially low charge) add
refrigerant. If it is possible to repair the leak without
discharging the refrigerant system, use the
procedure for correcting low refrigerant level.
HANDLING TUBING AND FITTINGS
Kinks in the refrigerant tubing or sharp bends in
the refrigerant hose lines will greatly reduce the
capacity of the entire system. High pressures are
produced in the system when it is operating.
Extreme care must be exercised to make sure that
all connections are pressure tight. Dirt and moisture
can enter the system when it is opened for repair
or replacement of lines or components. The
following precautions must be observed. The
system must be completely discharged before
opening any fitting of connection in the refrigeration
system. Open fittings with caution even after the
system has been discharged. If any pressure is
noticed as a fitting is loosened, allow trapped
pressure to bleed off very slowly.
Never attempt to rebend formed lines to fit. Use
the correct line for the installation you are servicing.
A good rule for the flexible hose lines is keep the
radius of all bends at least 10 times the diameter
of the hose.
Sharper bends will reduce the flow of refrigerant.
The flexible hose lines should be routed so that
they are at least 80 mm from the exhaust manifold.
It is good practice to inspect all flexible hose lines
at least once a year to make sure they are in good
condition and properly routed.
Unified plumbing connections with O-rings, these
O-rings are not reusable.
COMPRESSOR NOISE
You must first know the conditions when the noise
occurs. These conditions are: weather, vehicle
speed, in gear or neutral, engine temperature or
any other special conditions.
Noises that develop during A/C operation can often
be misleading. For example: what sounds like a
failed front bearing or connecting rod, may be
caused by loose bolts, nuts, mounting brackets,
or a loose clutch assembly. Verify accessory drive
belt tension (power steering or alternator).
Improper accessory drive belt tension can cause
a misleading noise when the compressor is
engaged and little or no noise when the compressor
is disengaged.
Drive belts are speed-sensitive. That is, at different
engine speeds, and depending upon belt tension,
belts can develop unusual noises that are often
mistaken for mechanical problems within the
compressor.
ADJUSTMENT
1. Select a quiet area for testing. Duplicate
conditions as much as possible. Switch
compressor on and off several times to clearly
identify compressor noise. To duplicate high
ambient conditions (high head pressure),
restrict air flow through condenser. Install
manifold gauge set to make sure discharge
pressure doesn’t exceed 2,070 kPa.
2. Tighten all compressor mounting bolts, clutch
mounting bolt, and compressor drive belt.
Check to assure clutch coil is tight (no rotation
or wobble).
3. Check refrigerant hoses for rubbing or
interference that can cause unusual noises.
4. Check refrigerant charge. (See “Charging
System”.)
5. Recheck compressor noise as in Step 1.
6. If noise still exists, loosen compressor mounting
bolts and retorque. Repeat Step 1.
7. If noise continues, replace compressor and
repeat Step 1.
