| REMOVAL SERVICE POINTS
| <<A>> FLEXIBLE SUCTION HOSE AND FLEXIBLE DISCHARGE HOSE DISCONNECTION CAUTION As the compressor oil and receiver are highly moisture absorbent, use a non-porous material to plug the hose and nipples. To prevent the entry of dust or other foreign bodies, plug the dismantled hoses and compressor nipples.
| <<B>> DRIVE BELT REMOVAL The following operations will be needed due to the introduction of the serpentine drive system with the drive belt auto-tensioner.
| Securely insert the spindle handle or ratchet handle with a 12.7 mm insertion angle into the jig hole of the auto-tensioner. Rotate the auto-tensioner anti-clockwise and align hole A with hole B. CAUTION To reuse the drive belt, draw an arrow indicating the rotating direction (clockwise) on the back of the belt using chalk, etc.
| Insert an L-shaped hexagon wrench, etc. into the hole to fix and then remove the drive belt.
| <<C>> COMPRESSOR REMOVAL Take care not to spill any compressor oil when removing the compressor.
| INSTALLATION SERVICE POINT
| >>A<< A/C COMPRESSOR INSTALLATION If a new compressor is installed, first adjust the amount of oil according to the procedures described below, and then install the compressor. Measure the amount (X mL) of oil within the removed compressor. Drain (from the new compressor) the amount of oil calculated according to the following formula, and then install the new compressor. New compressor oil amount = 120 mL <2400-except MIVEC> or 140 mL <2400-MIVEC> 120 mL-X mL = Y mL <2400> or 140 mL-X mL = Y mL <2400-MIVEC> NOTE: Y mL indicates the amount of oil in the refrigerant line, the condenser, the evaporator, etc. NOTE: When replacing the following parts at the same times as the compressor, subtract the rated oil amount of the each part from Y mL and discharge from the new compressor. Quantity: Evaporator: 60 mL Condenser: 15 mL Suction hose: 10 mL Receiver: 10 mL
