for all A/C charging and service work
according to their manufacturers' instructions.

•
the amount of HFC -134a refrigerant shown

INSTALLATION
Before You Begin:
Customer Information: The information in
these instructions is intended for use only by
skilled technicians who have the proper tools,
equipment, and training to correctly and safely
add equipment to your car. These procedures
should not be attempted by "do-it-yourselfers."
Write down the customer's radio station
•
presets; the radio memory will be erased
when you disconnect the battery.
Make sure you install the right part. Use the
•
illustrations on pages 2 and 3 as a guide to
check the parts before you install them.
Don't remove plugs and caps from fittings
•
until the parts are ready to connect. This will
keep out moisture and dirt which could cause
wear and damage.
Before you connect any line or hose, check
•
and lube its O-ring. Make sure the O-ring is
there (inside the fitting), put a few drops of
refrigerant oil on it and on the threads, then
connect the fitting.
You may use either type of refrigerant oil to
•
lubricate O-rings and fittings.
If you add or replace refrigerant oil in the
•
system, use only this PAG oil: ND-8,
P/N 38899-PR7-A01AH.
Route and secure the lines and hoses
•
properly; maintain clearance between them
and surrounding parts.
Use two wrenches to tighten or loosen
•
fittings; hold one fitting in place while you
tighten the other one against it.
Before you connect each connector, check
•
its terminals. Make sure they aren't bent or
out of place.
NOTICE Don't overtighten; you could
damage the fittings. Before you tighten a
fitting, check the torque listed for it. If leaks are
caused by faulty O-rings, overtightening the
fitting won't help.
