Refrigerant: Service and Repair
Refrigerant System Filtering Following Air Conditioning (A/C) Compressor Installation
REFRIGERANT SYSTEM FILTERING FOLLOWING AIR CONDITIONING (A/C) COMPRESSOR INSTALLATION
WARNING: Use extreme care and observe all safety and service precautions related to the use of refrigerants as outlined on refrigerant tank and on
recovery and charging equipment. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.
WARNING: Carefully read cautionary information on product label. For EMERGENCY MEDICAL INFORMATION seek medical advice. For
additional information, consult the product Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) if available. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious
personal injury.
CAUTION: An A/C refrigerant analyzer must be used before the recovery of any vehicle A/C refrigerant. Failure to do so puts the shop bulk refrigerant
at risk of contamination. If the vehicle A/C refrigerant is contaminated, refer the customer to the repair facility that carried out the last A/C repair. If the
customer wishes to pay the additional cost, use the A/C recovery equipment that is designated for recovering contaminated A/C refrigerant. All
contaminated A/C refrigerant must be disposed of as hazardous waste. For all equipment, follow the equipment manufacturer procedures and
instructions.
CAUTION: On vehicles being repaired for an internal compressor or desiccant failure, a new suction accumulator or suction accumulator, thermal
expansion valve or evaporator core orifice and any hoses containing mufflers must be installed prior to filtering the A/C system. The internal plumbing
of these devices makes it impossible to correctly remove any residual agent. These components are typically discarded after A/C system contamination.
Hoses without mufflers can normally be reused unless they are clogged with foreign material. The filter is intended for use on one vehicle only.
1. Orient the filter inlet toward the A/C condenser core.
