• Use only HFC-134a in this system; do not use

CFC 12 (Freon); do not install parts designed for

use in a CFC system.

• Use a charging station. A/C charging stations and

refrigerant recovery/recycling stations minimize the

release of CFCs and HFCs into the atmosphere.

Use them for all A/C charging and service work

according to their manufacturers' instructions.

• Do not overcharge. This system requires only the

amount of HFC-134a refrigerant shown below. If

you overcharge the system, the engine and the A/

C could malfunction.

INSTALLATION

Customer Information: The information in this

installation instruction is intended for use only by

skilled technicians who have the proper tools,

equipment, and training to correctly and safely add

equipment to your vehicle. These procedures

should not be attempted by "do-it-yourselfers."

• Make sure you install the correct part. Use the

illustrations on pages 2 and 3 as a guide to check

the parts before you install them.

• Don't remove plugs and caps from fittings until

the parts are ready to install. This will keep out

moisture and dirt that could cause wear and

damage.

• Before you connect any line or hose, check and

lube its O-ring. Make sure the O-ring is there (on

the fitting), put a few drops of refrigerant oil on the

O-ring, then connect the fitting.

• You may use any type of refrigerant oil to lubricate

O-rings and fittings.

• If you add or replace refrigerant oil in the system,

use

only

this PAG oil: Sanden SP-10,

P/N 38897-P13-A01.

• Route and secure the lines and hoses properly;

maintain clearance between them and surrounding

parts.

• Before you connect each connector, check its

terminals. Make sure they aren't bent or out of

place.
