system is in operation. This high pressure could rupture can
or fitting at safety can valve, resulting in damage and
personal injury.

CONNECTING LINES & FITTINGS

A new "O" ring should be used in all instances when
connecting lines and fittings (dip "O" ring in clean refrigeration oil
and make certain it is not twisted during installation). Always use
two wrenches to avoid twisting or distorting lines and fittings,
tighten coupling nuts securely.

PLACING SYSTEM IN OPERATION

After component replacement and/or system servicing has been
completed and all connections have been made, proceed as follows:

1) Evacuate the system using a vacuum pump.

2) Charge the system with new R-12 (refrigerant) according to
each individual vehicle as outlined in the

GENERAL COOLING SYSTEM SERVICING article. Also see Refrigerant
Capacity in this Section.

3) Leak test the system, with particular attention to all new
connections and components.

4) Make a performance test of the system. Never assume that a
recharging has automatically corrected a problem.

COMPRESSOR REMOVAL INFORMATION - ISOLATION METHOD

On systems which have compressors equipped with stem-type
service valves (Tecumseh), it is possible to isolate the compressor
for removal.

Isolating

Turn both high and low pressure manual valves to extreme
clockwise (front seat) position. Loosen cap on high pressure manual
valve connection to compressor and allow gas to escape until
compressor is relieved of pressure.

COMPRESSOR REMOVAL INFORMATION - DISCHARGE METHOD

This procedure is to be used on vehicles which have
compressor equipped with Schrader service valves. In these cases, the
compressor cannot be isolated and the system must be discharged, using
approved refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment, prior to compressor
removal.
