contamination in the system.
-
Before disconnecting a component, clean the outside of the fittings thoroughly to prevent contamination from entering the refrigerant system.
-
Immediately after disconnecting a component from the refrigerant system, seal the open fittings with a cap or plug.
-
Before connecting an open refrigerant fitting, always install a new seal or gasket. Coat the fitting and seal with clean refrigerant oil before
connecting.
-
Do not remove the sealing caps from a replacement component until it is to be installed.
-
When installing a refrigerant line, avoid sharp bends that may restrict refrigerant flow. Position the refrigerant lines away from exhaust system
components or any sharp edges, which may damage the line.
-
Tighten refrigerant fittings only to the specified torque. The aluminum fittings used in the refrigerant system will not tolerate overtightening.
-
When disconnecting a refrigerant fitting, use a wrench on both halves of the fitting. This will prevent twisting of the refrigerant lines or tubes.
-
Refrigerant oil will absorb moisture from the atmosphere if left uncapped. Do not open a container of refrigerant oil until you are ready to use
it.
-
Replace the cap on the oil container immediately after using. Store refrigerant oil only in a clean, airtight, and moisture-free container.
-
Keep service tools and the work area clean. Contamination of the refrigerant system through careless work habits must be avoided.
