Removal and Installation

Compressor Assembly And Tension Pully - Removal And Installation:

CAUTION: As the compressor oil and receiver are highly moisture absorbent, use a non-porous material to plug the hose and nipples.

To prevent the entry of dust or other foreign material, plug the dismantled hoses and compressor nipples.

<> DRIVE BELT REMOVAL
The following operations will be needed due to the serpentine drive system with the drive belt auto-tensioner.

1. Securely insert the spindle handle or ratchet handle with a 12.7mm (1/2-inch) insertion angle into the jig hole of the auto-tensioner, and turn the auto-tensioner counterclockwise until it hits the stopper.

CAUTION: To reuse the drive belt, draw an arrow indicating the rotating direction (to the right) on the back of the belt using chalk, etc.

2. Align hole A with hole B, insert an L-shaped hexagon wrench, etc. to fix and then remove the drive belt.

<> A/C COMPRESSOR REMOVAL
Take care not to spill any compressor oil when removing the compressor.

INSTALLATION SERVICE POINT

>>A<< A/C 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 cu.cm (X floz)] of oil within the removed compressor.
2. Drain (from the new compressor) the amount [Y cu.cm (Y floz)] of oil calculated according to the following formula, and then install the new compressor.

New compressor oil amount=130 cu.cm (4.7 floz)
130 cu.cm - X cu.cm = Y cu.cm (4.7 floz - X floz = Y floz)

NOTE: Y cu.cm (Y floz) indicates the amount of oil in the refrigerant line, the condenser, the evaporator, etc.

NOTE: When replacing the following parts at the same time as the compressor, subtract the rated oil amount of the each part from Y cu. cm (Y floz), and discharge from the new compressor.

Quantity:
- Evaporator: 60 cu.cm (2.0 floz)
- Condenser: 15 cu.cm (0.5 floz)
- Suction hose: 10 cu.cm (0.3 floz)
- Receiver: 10 cu.cm (0.3 floz)
