  Note
If the AC compressor was removed, the free wheel must be turned by hand approx. 10 turns on the V-ribbed belt pulley before it is first put into service. This prevents that no damage occurs after switching on the air conditioning system for the first time as a result of fluid hammer in the AC compressor (if oil is present in the cylinder of the AC compressor, it is pressed out when turning).
–  Start the engine with the AC compressor switched off (version with magnetic coupling).
–  Set the AC compressor to the lowest possible performance; operating mode „Econ“ or A/C off (version without magnetic coupling with regulating valve).
–  Wait until the idling speed has stabilised.
–  Switch on the AC compressor and operate the system for at least 2 minutes at idle speed.
–  If necessary, check the pressures in the refrigerant circuit with the A/C service station.
–  Switch off engine.
–  Release the handwheel on the quick-coupling adapter.
–  Remove the filling hoses from the refrigerant circuit.
–  Screw on the protective caps once again.
