Section 5 • Maintenance/Service

7. Wipe clean, the compressor input shaft and the

shaft seal cavity in the compressor housing. Apply
clean compressor oil to the shaft seal seating area
on input shaft.

8. Lubricate the inside area of the rotating seal with

clean compressor lubricating oil, do not wipe or
touch the face of the rotating portion of the seal.
Align the slot in the rotating seal with the drive pin
on the compressor input shaft, see Figure 5-35.
Carefully push the seal on, holding onto the out-
side area of the seal until the seal seats against the
shoulder on the input shaft. Make sure the seal is
seated against the shoulder. If the seal is not fully
seated against the shoulder, the shaft seal carbon
will be damaged when the seal cover is installed.
