3. Undo the hose clamp on the fluid tank. Undo both hexagon- head bolts on the fluid tank and remove the fluid tank upwards. Immediately close
lines with plugs so that they are air-tight.
Installing
NOTE:
-
The fluid tank must be replaced if the system suffers from operational faults (e.g. accident damage or air-conditioning system depressurized).
-
Used refrigerant oil extracted from a previously run A/C unit must not be re-used.
1. Do not remove plugs until shortly before installation. Replace the O-ring on the branch piece and on the refrigerant line, and wet the new O-rings
with refrigerant oil.
2. lighten both hexagon-head bolts on the fluid tank.
