Precautions For A/C Kit Installation

1. Negative (-) cable should be disconnected from battery.
2. Engine-installed air conditioning components should be tightened by specified torque using bolts supplied in the kit.
3. Air conditioning lines and wire harnesses should, when installed, be routed correctly so as not to interfere with peripheral parts.
4. Hoses and tubes should be connected with each other respectively after applying two to three drops of refrigerant to seats of flared nuts.
5. Line fittings should be tightened or loosened using two wrenches so that they are supported evenly during such tightening or loosening.
6. Flared nuts should be tightened by specified torque.
7. Until it becomes possible to connect each component into position, blind plugs of attaching portions should not be removed.

NOTE: Remove plugs from compressor carefully to allow refrigerant to escape slowly. This is necessary because compressor is shipped out from factory with a slight charge of refrigerant to prevent its seals from corroding.

8. When handling refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a),you should always wear safety goggles and also use care that it will not get on your skin.
9. Refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a) can should be kept at about 40 °C (100 °F) by putting it in hot water.

INSTALLATION
When installing air conditioning, refer to instruction manual which is packed with A/C parts.
