A/C System3A-17
Maintenance Warning and
Instruction
Treatment of the refrigerant
1. Please avoid inhaling the air containing the
refrigerant or lubricant vapor, for these gases
may cause irritation to eyes, nose and throat.
For environmental concerns, we strongly
recommend that the recovery/recycling/filling
equipment be adopted for R134a emission
from the A/C system. If an accidental leak in
the system may occur, please ensure the work
area is well ventilated before continuing the
maintenance.
2. Do not use the compressed air method to
perform the pressure or leak test for the
R134a maintenance equipment and/or the
vehicle A/C system. The mixture of R134a
and air at certain proportion is flammable
when the pressure is increased; if ignited, it
shall cause personal injury or property
damage. For other health and safety
information, please obtain from the
refrigerant supplier.
3. Do not let the refrigerant leak near an open
flame or other sources of heat. The refrigerant
will produce toxic gases when it is exposed to
the heat sources such as cigarettes or heaters.
If the operation may cause leakage, be sure to
avoid the above-mentioned heat sources and
maintain good ventilation.
4. Handling refrigerant is dangerous. Dripping a
drop of refrigerant on the skin will cause
localized frostbite; therefore, be sure to wear
gloves and goggles. If the refrigerant is
splashed into eyes, rinse with water
immediately and then go to the doctor.
Storage of the refrigerant
There is high pressure inside the refrigerant
reservoir. It may explode when being exposed to
the heat source, making metal fragments and
refrigerant splashing in all directions, which would
cause personal injury. The refrigerant should be
stored in the places with the temperature below 40
℃{1040F).
Treatment of the compressor oil
1. Only the PAG 105# compressor oil can be
adopted for this vehicle and other kinds of oil
may cause damage to the A/C compressor.
2. Don’t let the PAG 105# compressor oil drop
on the vehicle body, or else the paint may
come off. If it drops on the vehicle body
accidentally, wiper it off immediately.
3. The PAG 105 # compressor oil is of higher
moisture absorption capacity than the
previously used mineral oil. The moisture
mixed into the compressor oil may cause
damage to the refrigeration system; therefore,
after the refrigeration system components are
removed, you should close the lid
immediately to prevent any moisture from
entering.
Maintenance Procedures for
Refrigeration System
Installing the manifold gauge
1. Close the valve on the SST(49C061001)
completely.
2. Connect the SST(49C061002, 49C061003)
and the SST(49C061001) respectively with
the low pressure port and the high pressure
port.
3. Connect the ends of the SST(49C061006A,
49C061007) and the SST(49C061002,
49C061003).
4. Connect the SST(49C061006A, 49C061007)
with the filler port.
