10.  Disconnect the cooler hose (LO) and cooler pipe. Do not allow compressor oil to spill.

Caution
•  If moisture or foreign material enters the refrigeration cycle, cooling ability will be lowered and abnormal noise will occur. Always immediately plug all open fittings after removing any refrigeration cycle parts to keep moisture or foreign material out of the cycle.

11.  Set the cooler hose (LO) and cooler pipe aside as shown in the figure while being careful not to let remaining oil in the pipes to spill.

Caution
•  When setting the cooler hose (LO) and cooler pipe aside, only bend the flexible part of the hose. If force is applied to areas other than the flexible hose, the pipe will bend and could be damaged.

12.  Remove the bolts.
