< PRECAUTION >

[AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONER (HR/MR)]

PRECAUTIONS

• Never release refrigerant into the air. Use approved recovery/recycling equipment to capture the

refrigerant every time an air conditioning system is discharged.

• Always wear eye and hand protection (goggles and gloves) when working with any refrigerant or air

conditioning system.

• Never store or heat refrigerant containers above 52

°

C (126

°

F).

• Never heat a refrigerant container with an open flame; if container warming is required, place the

bottom of the container in a warm pail of water.

• Never intentionally drop, puncture, or incinerate refrigerant containers.
• Keep refrigerant away from open flames: poisonous gas will be produced if refrigerant burns.
• Refrigerant will displace oxygen, therefore be certain to work in well ventilated areas to prevent suf-

focation.

• Never pressure test or leak test HFC-134a (R-134a) service equipment and/or vehicle air conditioning

systems with compressed air during repair. Some mixtures of air and HFC-134a (R-134a) have been
shown to be combustible at elevated pressures. These mixtures, if ignited, may cause injury or prop-
erty damage. Additional health and safety information may be obtained from refrigerant manufactur-
ers.

CAUTION:

The new and former refrigerant connections use different O-ring configurations. Never confuse O-
rings since they are not interchangeable. If a wrong O-ring is installed, refrigerant may leak at the con-
nection.

O-Ring Part Numbers and Specifications

WARNING:

Make sure all refrigerant is discharged into the recycling equipment and the pressure in the system is
less than atmospheric pressure. Then gradually loosen the discharge side hose fitting and remove it.

CAUTION:

When replacing or cleaning refrigerant cycle components, observe the following.
• When the compressor is removed, store it in the same way at it is when mounted on the car. Failure

to do so will cause lubricant to enter the low-pressure chamber.

• When connecting tubes, always use a torque wrench and a back-up wrench.
• After disconnecting tubes, immediately plug all openings to prevent entry of dust and moisture.
• When installing an air conditioner in the vehicle, connect the pipes at the final stage of the operation.

Never remove the seal caps of pipes and other components until just before required for connection.

• Allow components stored in cool areas to warm to working area temperature before removing seal

caps. This prevents condensation from forming inside A/C components.

• Thoroughly remove moisture from the refrigeration system before charging the refrigerant.
• Always replace used O-rings.
• When connecting tube, apply lubricant to circle of the O-rings shown in illustration. Be careful not to

apply lubricant to threaded portion.

• O-ring must be closely attached to the groove portion of tube.
• When replacing the O-ring, be careful not to damage O-ring and tube.
• Connect tube until a click can be heard, then tighten the nut or bolt by hand. Make sure that the O-

ring is installed to tube correctly.

[AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONER (HR/MR)]

PRECAUTIONS

• After connecting line, perform leak test and make sure that there is no leakage from connections.

When the refrigerant leaking point is found, disconnect that line and replace the O-ring. Then tighten
connections of seal seat to the specified torque.

Service Equipment

INFOID:0000000001093769

RECOVERY/RECYCLING EQUIPMENT

Be certain to follow the manufacturer’s manuals for machine operation and machine maintenance. Never
introduce any refrigerant other than that specified into the machine.

ELECTRICAL LEAK DETECTOR

Be certain to follow the manufacturer’s manuals for tester operation and tester maintenance.

VACUUM PUMP

The lubricant contained inside the vacuum pump is not compatible
with the specified lubricant for HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C systems.
The vent side of the vacuum pump is exposed to atmospheric pres-
sure. So the vacuum pump lubricant may migrate out of the pump
into the service hose. This is possible when the pump is switched off
after evacuation (vacuuming) and hose is connected to it.
To prevent this migration, use a manual valve placed near the hose-
to-pump connection, as follows.
• Usually vacuum pumps have a manual isolator valve as part of the

pump. Close this valve to isolate the service hose from the pump.

• For pumps without an isolator, use a hose equipped with a manual

shut-off valve near the pump end. Close the valve to isolate the
hose from the pump.

• If the hose has an automatic shut-off valve, disconnect the hose

from the pump. As long as the hose is connected, the valve is open
and lubricating oil may migrate.

Some one-way valves open when vacuum is applied and close
under no vacuum condition. Such valves may restrict the pump’s
ability to pull a deep vacuum and are not recommended.

Be certain that the gauge face indicates HFC-134a or R-134a. Be
sure the gauge set has 1/2

″

-16 ACME threaded connections for ser-

vice hoses. Confirm the set has been used only with refrigerant
HFC-134a (R-134a) and specified lubricants.

SERVICE HOSES

Be certain that the service hoses display the markings described
(colored hose with black stripe). All hoses must include positive shut-
off devices (either manual or automatic) near the end of the hoses
opposite to the manifold gauge.

SERVICE COUPLERS

Never attempt to connect HFC-134a (R-134a) service couplers to a
CFC-12 (R-12) A/C system. The HFC-134a (R-134a) couplers will
not properly connect to the CFC-12 (R-12) system. However, if an
improper connection is attempted, discharging and contamination
may occur.

REFRIGERANT WEIGHT SCALE

Verify that no refrigerant other than HFC-134a (R-134a) and speci-
fied lubricants have been used with the scale. If the scale controls
refrigerant flow electronically, the hose fitting must be 1/2

″

-16

ACME.

CHARGING CYLINDER

Using a charging cylinder is not recommended. Refrigerant may be vented into air from cylinder’s top valve
when filling the cylinder with refrigerant. Also, the accuracy of the cylinder is generally less than that of an
electronic scale or of quality recycle/recharge equipment.
