Perform this procedure only if you are using A/C
System Disinfectant Kit (P/N 21030784; P/N

CAUTION:
THIS PROCEDURE SHOULD ONLY BE PERFORMED ON A COLD CAR. IT HAS BEEN DEMONSTRATED THAT IRRITATING VAPORS WILL BE FORMED IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT IF THE DISINFECTANT COMING OUT OF THE DRAIN OUTLET CONTACTS HOT ENGINE COMPONENTS. DISINFECTANT CAN CAUSE SUBSTANTIAL, BUT TEMPORARY EYE INJURY. DO NOT GET DISINFECTANT IN EYES OR ON CLOTHING. WASH THOROUGHLY WITH SOAP AND WATER AFTER HANDLING.

FIRST AID: IF DISINFECTANT GETS INTO EYES, HOLD EYELIDS OPEN AND FLUSH WITH A STEADY, GENTLE STREAM OF WATER FOR 15 MINUTES. OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION IF IRRITATION PERSISTS.

1. Allow vehicle to cool down before performing disinfectant procedure.

2. Put on rubber gloves, safety goggles and MOSH approved acid gas/organic vapor respirator.

3. Pour the small bottle of the two part A/C System Disinfectant Kit (P/N 21030784; P/N 10953503 for Canada) into the large bottle. Put the cap back on the large bottle and invert bottle once or twice to mix the contents.

4. Using cleaning gun, OTC Tool SA9216NE (or equivalent siphon-type parts cleaning spray gun capable of delivering 2 ounces per minute of liquid with shop air at 552-620 kpa [80-90 psi]), insert siphon hose into container of disinfectant. Take care to place the bottle in a secure upright position to avoid spilling contents.





5. Insert nozzle tip of spray gun through the drilled hole and orient so spray pattern will be parallel to the evaporator face.
