Precautions for Working with HFC-134a (R-134a)

EJS004HJ

WARNING: G q Use only specified lubricant for the HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C system and HFC-134a (R-134a) components. If lubricant other than that specified is used, compressor failure is likely to occur. q The specified HFC-134a (R-134a) lubricant rapidly absorbs moisture from the atmosphere. The fol- H lowing handling precautions must be observed: q When removing refrigerant components from a vehicle, immediately cap (seal) the component to minimize the entry of moisture from the atmosphere. I q When installing refrigerant components to a vehicle, do not remove the caps (unseal) until just before connecting the components. Connect all refrigerant loop components as quickly as possible to minimize the entry of moisture into system. q Only use the specified lubricant from a sealed container. Immediately reseal containers of lubri- ATC cant. Without proper sealing, lubricant will become moisture saturated and should not be used. q Avoid breathing A/C refrigerant and lubricant vapor or mist. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose and throat. Remove HFC-134a (R-134a) from the A/C system, using certified service equipment meet- K ing requirements of SAE J2210 HFC-134a (R-134a) recycling equipment, or J2209 HFC-134a (R134a) recovery equipment). If accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work area before resuming service. Additional health and safety information may be obtained from refrigerant and L lubricant manufacturers. q Do not allow lubricant (Nissan A/C System Oil Type S or R) to come in contact with styrofoam parts. Damage may result. M

General Refrigerant Precautions

EJS004HK

WARNING: q Do not release refrigerant into the air. Use approved recovery/recycling equipment to capture the refrigerant every time an air conditioning system is discharged. q Always wear eye and hand protection (goggles and gloves) when working with any refrigerant or air conditioning system. q Do not store or heat refrigerant containers above 52°C (125°F). q Do not heat a refrigerant container with an open flame; if container warming is required, place the bottom of the container in a warm pail of water. q Do not intentionally drop, puncture, or incinerate refrigerant containers. q Keep refrigerant away from open flames: poisonous gas will be produced if refrigerant burns. q Refrigerant will displace oxygen, therefore be certain to work in well ventilated areas to prevent suffocation. q Do not pressure test or leak test HFC-134a (R-134a) service equipment and/or vehicle air conditioning systems with compressed air during repair. Some mixtures of air and HFC-134a (R-134a)

Use only specified lubricant for the HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C system and HFC-134a (R-134a) components. If lubricant other than that specified is used, compressor malfunction is likely to occur. The specified HFC-134a (R-134a) lubricant rapidly absorbs moisture from the atmosphere. The following handling precautions must be observed: When removing refrigerant components from a vehicle, immediately cap (seal) the component to minimize the entry of moisture from the atmosphere. When installing refrigerant components to a vehicle, do not remove the caps (unseal) until just before connecting the components. Connect all refrigerant loop components as quickly as possible to minimize the entry of moisture into system. Only use the specified lubricant from a sealed container. Immediately reseal containers of lubricant. Without proper sealing, lubricant will become moisture saturated and should not be used. Avoid breathing A/C refrigerant and lubricant vapor or mist. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose and throat. Remove HFC-134a (R-134a) from the A/C system, using certified service equipment meeting requirements of SAE J2210 HFC-134a (R-134a) recycling equipment, or J2209 HFC-134a (R-134a) recovery equipment. If accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work area before resuming service. Additional health and safety information may be obtained from refrigerant and lubricant manufacturers. Do not allow lubricant (Nissan A/C System Oil Type R) to come in contact with styrofoam parts. Damage may result.

Precautions for Refrigerant Connection

A new type refrigerant connection has been introduced to all refrigerant lines except the following location. q Expansion valve to cooling unit q Refrigerant pressure sensor to liquid tank

FEATURES OF NEW TYPE REFRIGERANT CONNECTION
q

q

The O-ring has been relocated. It has also been provided with a groove for proper installation. This eliminates the chance of the O-ring being caught in, or damaged by, the mating part. The sealing direction of the O-ring is now set vertically in relation to the contacting surface of the mating part to improve sealing characteristics. The reaction force of the O-ring will not occur in the direction that causes the joint to pull out, thereby facilitating piping connections.

PRECAUTIONS
O-RING AND REFRIGERANT CONNECTION
CAUTION: The new and former refrigerant connections use different O-ring configurations. Do not confuse Orings since they are not interchangeable. If a wrong O-ring is installed, refrigerant will leak at, or around, the connection.

WARNING: Make sure all refrigerant is discharged into the recycling equipment and the pressure in the system is less than atmospheric pressure. Then gradually loosen the discharge side hose fitting and remove it. CAUTION: When replacing or cleaning refrigerant cycle components, observe the following. q When the compressor is removed, store it in the same position as it is when mounted on the car. Malfunction to do so will cause lubricant to enter the low pressure chamber. q When connecting tubes, always use a torque wrench and a back-up wrench. q After disconnecting tubes, immediately plug all openings to prevent entry of dirt and moisture. q When installing an air conditioner in the vehicle, connect the pipes as the final stage of the operation. Do not remove the seal caps of pipes and other components until just before required for connection. q Allow components stored in cool areas to warm to working area temperature before removing seal caps. This prevents condensation from forming inside A/C components. q Thoroughly remove moisture from the refrigeration system before charging the refrigerant. q Always replace used O-rings.

When connecting tube, apply lubricant to circle of the O-rings shown in illustration. Be careful not to apply lubricant to threaded portion. Lubricant name: Part number: KC59G Compressor Nissan A/C System Oil Type R KLH00-PAGR0

q q q

q

O-ring must be closely attached to dented portion of tube. When replacing the O-ring, be careful not to damage O-ring and tube. Connect tube until you hear it click, then tighten the nut or bolt by hand until snug. Make sure that the O-ring is installed to tube correctly. After connecting line, conduct leak test and make sure that there is no leakage from connections. When the gas leaking point is found, disconnect that line and replace the O-ring. Then tighten connections of seal seat to the specified torque.

q

Plug all openings to prevent moisture and foreign matter from entering. When the compressor is removed, store it in the same position as it is when mounted on the car. When replacing or repairing compressor, follow "Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in Compressor" exactly. Refer to ATC-14, "Adjustment of Compressor Lubricant Amount" . Keep friction surfaces between clutch and pulley clean. If the surface is contaminated, with lubricant, wipe it off by using a clean waste cloth moistened with thinner. After compressor service operation, turn the compressor shaft by hand more than five turns in both directions. This will equally distribute lubricant inside the compressor. After the compressor is installed, let the engine idle and operate the compressor for one hour. After replacing the compressor magnet clutch, apply voltage to the new one and check for normal operation.
EJS004HO

Precautions for Service Equipment
RECOVERY/RECYCLING EQUIPMENT

Be certain to follow the manufacturers instructions for machine operation and machine maintenance. Never introduce any refrigerant other than that specified into the machine.

ELECTRONIC LEAK DETECTOR
Be certain to follow the manufacturer's instructions for tester operation and tester maintenance.

ATC-6

PRECAUTIONS
VACUUM PUMP
The lubricant contained inside the vacuum pump is not compatible with the specified lubricant for HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C systems. The vent side of the vacuum pump is exposed to atmospheric pressure. So the vacuum pump lubricant may migrate out of the pump into the service hose. This is possible when the pump is switched off after evacuation (vacuuming) and hose is connected to it. To prevent this migration, use a manual valve placed near the hoseto-pump connection, as follows. q Usually vacuum pumps have a manual isolator valve as part of the pump. Close this valve to isolate the service hose from the pump. q For pumps without an isolator, use a hose equipped with a manual shut-off valve near the pump end. Close the valve to isolate the hose from the pump. q If the hose has an automatic shut off valve, disconnect the hose from the pump. As long as the hose is connected, the valve is open and lubricating oil may migrate. Some one-way valves open when vacuum is applied and close under a no vacuum condition. Such valves may restrict the pump's ability to pull a deep vacuum and are not recommended.

q q q

q

The A/C system contains a fluorescent leak detection dye used for locating refrigerant leaks. An ultraviolet (UV) lamp is required to illuminate the dye when inspecting for leaks. Always wear fluorescence enhancing UV safety goggles to protect your eyes and enhance the visibility of the fluorescent dye. The fluorescent dye leak detector is not a replacement for an electronic refrigerant leak detector. The fluorescent dye leak detector should be used in conjunction with an electronic refrigerant leak detector to (J41995) pin-point refrigerant leaks. For your safety and your Customer's satisfaction, read and follow all manufacture's operating instructions and precautions prior to performing the work. A compressor shaft seal should not be repaired because of dye seepage. The compressor shaft seal should only be repaired after confirming the leak with an electronic refrigerant leak detector (J-41995). Always remove any remaining dye from the leak area after repairs are complete to avoid a misdiagnosis during a future service. Do not allow dye to come into contact with painted body panels or interior components. If dye is spilled, clean immediately with the approved dye cleaner. Fluorescent dye left on a surface for an extended period of time cannot be removed. Do not spray the fluorescent dye cleaning agent on hot surfaces (engine exhaust manifold, etc.). Do not use more than one refrigerant dye bottle (1/4 ounce / 7.4 CC) per A/C system. Leak detection dyes for HFC-134a (R-134a) and CFC-12 (R-12) A/C systems are different. Do not use HFC-134a (R-134a) leak detection dye in CFC-12 (R-12) A/C system or CFC-12 (R-12) leak detector dye in HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C systems or A/C system damage may result. The fluorescent properties of the dye will remain for over three (3) years unless a compressor malfunction occurs.
