Equator 4WD V6-4.0L (2010)
Precaution for Service of Compressor
-
Plug all openings to prevent moisture and foreign matter from entering.
-
When the compressor is removed, store it in the same position as it is when mounted on the car.
-
When replacing or repairing compressor, follow "Maintenance of Oil Quantity in Compressor" exactly. Refer to [Maintenance of Oil Quantity in
Compressor].
-
Keep friction surfaces between clutch and pulley clean. If the surface is contaminated with oil, wipe it off by using a clean waste cloth moistened
with thinner.
-
After compressor service operation, turn the compressor shaft by hand more than 5 turns in both directions. This will equally distribute oil inside
the compressor. After the compressor is installed, let the engine idle and operate the compressor for 1 hour.
-
After replacing the compressor magnet clutch, apply voltage to the new one and check for normal operation.
Precaution for Service Equipment
Recovery/Recycling Equipment
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for machine operation and machine maintenance. Never introduce any refrigerant other than that specified into the
machine.
Electronic Leak Detector
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for tester operation and tester maintenance.
Vacuum Pump
The oil contained inside the vacuum pump is not compatible with the specified oil for HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C systems. The vent side of the vacuum
pump is exposed to atmospheric pressure so the vacuum pump oil 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.
