8.  Disconnect the cooler hose (HI) and cooler pipe. Do not allow remaining compressor oil in the refrigerant line to spill. (See REFRIGERANT LINE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [MZR 1.6].)(See REFRIGERANT LINE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SKYACTIV-G 1.5, SKYACTIV-G 2.0, SKYACTIV-G 2.5].)(See REFRIGERANT LINE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SKYACTIV-D 1.5].)(See REFRIGERANT LINE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SKYACTIV-D 2.2].)

Caution

•  If moisture or foreign matter enters the refrigeration cycle, cooling ability will be lowered and abnormal noise or other malfunctions could occur. Always plug open fittings immediately after removing any refrigeration cycle parts.

9.  Remove the condenser, being careful not to allow remaining compressor oil in the condenser to spill. (See Condenser Installation Note.)
