WARNING
Make sure power to the unit is OFF and

the compressor.
NOTES
1
The compressor should not operate in a
vacuum greater than 500 mm/hg (20
inches/hg).
2
The service replacement compressor is
sold without shutoff valves (but with valve
pads), and without terminal box and cover.
Customer should retain the original
terminal box, cover, and high pressure
switch for use on replacement compressor.
3
Check oil level in service replacement
compressor. (Refer to paragraph 6.8.6.)
4
A compressor terminal wiring kit must be
ordered as a separate item when ordering
replacement
compressor.
Appropriate
installation instructions are included with
kit.
5
Refer to Table 6-6 and Table 6-8 for
applicable compressor wear limits and
torque values.
6
Refer to Figure 6-31 for charts on
compressor pressure, temperature and
motor current curves.
6.8.1 Removal and Replacement of Compressor
a. Remove the protective guard from lower section of
the unit.
b. Remove all refrigerant using a refrigerant recovery
system.(refer to section 6.4)
c. Locate the compressor junction box. Tag and discon-
nect wiring from compressor terminals and remove
compressor junction box.
d. Loosen service valve mounting bolts, break seal and
then remove bolts.
e. Remove compressor plate mounting bolts.
f. Remove compressor and mounting plate. Refer to
paragraph 2.2 for weight of compressor.
g. Remove high pressure switch (HPS) from compres-
