  1. DO NOT HANDLE REFRIGERANT IN AN ENCLOSED AREA OR NEAR AN OPEN FLAME
  2. ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION
  3. BE CAREFUL NOT TO GET LIQUID REFRIGERANT IN YOUR EYES OR ON YOUR SKIN If liquid refrigerant gets in your eyes or on your skin. Wash the area with lots of cool water. CAUTION: Do not rub your eyes or skin. Apply clean petroleum jelly to the skin. Go immediately to a physician or hospital for professional treatment.
  4. NEVER HEAT CONTAINER OR EXPOSE IT TO NAKED FLAME
  5. BE CAREFUL NOT TO DROP CONTAINER AND NOT TO APPLY PHYSICAL SHOCKS TO IT
  6. DO NOT OPERATE COMPRESSOR WITHOUT ENOUGH REFRIGERANT IN REFRIGERANT SYSTEM If there is not enough refrigerant in the refrigerant system oil lubrication will be insufficient and compressor burnout may occur, so take care to avoid this, necessary care should be taken.
  7. DO NOT OPEN HIGH PRESSURE MANIFOLD VALVE WHILE COMPRESSOR IS OPERATING If the high pressure valves opened, refrigerant flows in the reverse direction and could cause the charging cylinder to rupture, so open and close the only low pressure valve.
  8. BE CAREFUL NOT TO OVERCHARGE SYSTEM WITH REFRIGERANT If refrigerant is overcharged, it causes problems such as insufficient cooling, poor fuel economy, engine overheating etc.

  1. INSPECT REFRIGERANT VOLUME Check the sight glass on the cooler refrigerant liquid pipe A. Test conditions: Engine is running at 1,500 RPM Blower speed control switch is at "HI" A/C switch is ON Temperature control dial is at "MAX. COOL" Doors are fully open *: Bubbles in the sight glass with ambient temperatures higher than usual can be considered normal if cooling is sufficient.
  2. INSPECT REFRIGERANT PRESSURE WITH MANIFOLD GAUGE SET This is a method in which the trouble is located by using a manifold gauge set. Read the manifold gauge pressure when these conditions are established. Test conditions: Temperature at the air inlet with the switch set at RECIRC is 30 to 35°C (86 to 95°F) Engine is running at 1,500 RPM Blower speed control switch is at "HI" Temperature control dial is at "COOL" A/C switch is ON Doors are fully open Normally functioning refrigeration system Gauge reading: Low pressure side: 0.15 to 0.25 MPa (1.5 to 2.5 kgf/cm 2 ) High pressure side: 1.37 to 1.57 MPa (14 to 16 kgf/cm 2 ) Moisture is present in refrigeration system Insufficient cooling Poor circulation of refrigerant Refrigerant does not circulate Refrigerant is overcharged or cooling effectiveness of condenser is insufficient Air present in refrigeration system Expansion valve malfunction Defective compressor Gauge readings (Reference)

  1. DISCHARGE REFRIGERANT FROM REFRIGERATION SYSTEM Turn the A/C switch on. Operate the cooler compressor at an engine RPM of approximately 1,000 for 5 to 6 minutes to circulate the refrigerant and collect compressor oil remaining in each component into the cooler compressor as much as possible. Stop the engine. Using SST, let the refrigerant gas out. SST 07110-58060 (07117-58080, 07117-58090, 07117-78050, 07117-88060, 07117-88070, 07117-88080)
  2. CHARGE REFRIGERANT Using a vacuum pump, perform vacuum purging. Using SST charge refrigerant, HFC-134a (R134a). Standard: 650 +/- 50 g (22.93 +/- 1.76 oz.) SST 07110-58060 (07117-58060, 07117-58070, 07117-58080, 07117-58090, 07117-78050, 07117-88060, 07117-88070, 07117-88080) NOTE: Do not start the engine before charging with refrigerant as the cooler compressor doesn't work properly without any refrigerant, which causes the compressor to overheat.
  3. WARM UP ENGINE NOTE: Warm up the engine at less than 2000 RPM for 2 minutes or more after charging with refrigerant.
  4. INSPECT LEAKAGE OF REFRIGERANT Perform in these conditions: Stop the engine. Secure good ventilation (the gas leak detector may not react to volatile gases which are not refrigerant, such as evaporated gasoline and exhaust gas). Repeat the test 2 or 3 times. Make sure that there is some refrigerant remaining in the refrigeration system. When compressor is off: approx. 392 to 588 kPa (4 to 6 kgf/cm 2 , 57 to 85 psi) Bring the gas leak detector close to the drain hose before performing the test. HINT: After the blower motor has stopped, leave the cooling unit for more than 15 minutes. Expose the gas leak detector sensor under the drain hose. When bringing the gas leak detector close to the drain hose, make sure that the gas leak detector does not react to the volatile gases. If such reaction is unavoidable, the vehicle must be lifted up. If a gas leak is not detected on the drain hose, remove the blower motor control (blower resistor) from the cooling unit. Insert the gas leak detector sensor into the unit and perform the test. Disconnect the connector and leave the pressure switch for approximately 20 minutes. Bring the gas leak detector close to the pressure switch and perform the test. Bring the gas leak detector close to the refrigerant lines and perform the test.

  1. INSPECT V (COOLER COMPRESSOR TO CRANKSHAFT PULLEY) BELT NO. 1 Belt tension: Using a belt tension gauge, check the V belt tension. V BELT TENSION SPECIFICATION New belt N (kg, lb) Used belt N (kg, lb) V belt 160 to 180 115 to 135 NOTE: Check the V belt deflection at the specified point. When installing a new belt, set its tension value as specified. When checking a belt used for over 5 minutes, confirm the deflection value is within the specified range. When reinstalling a belt used for over 5 minutes, perform the check based on the used deflection value. V belt tension and deflection values should be checked after 2 revolutions of engine cranking. When using a belt tension gauge, confirm the accuracy first by using a master gauge. Check that the drive belt fits properly in the ribbed grooves.
