| Detaching refrigerant pipes at compressor/attaching |
Note | t
| The compressor is always driven when the engine is running; there is no magnetic clutch. The engine is therefore not to be started unless the refrigerant circuit has been properly assembled. If, for example, the refrigerant pipes have not been connected to the compressor, heat generation inside the compressor with the engine running may lead to destruction of the compressor. |
| t
| The following illustrations show a compressor attached to the right of the engine. The refrigerant pipes are to be detached in the same manner for compressors attached to the left of the engine. These engines are however not fitted at present with a holder for the refrigerant pipes. |
| t
| Seal open pipes and connections at compressor with suitable caps (to prevent ingress of dirt and moisture). |
| t
| On vehicles with 8-cyl. engine, certain preparatory work is required to make the refrigerant pipes accessible for detaching → Chapter. |
