NOTE
Take care to follow the handling procedures below:
• Only use the specified FVC68D PVE oil from a
sealed container.
• Immediately reseal containers of oil.
• To avoid contamination, do not return oil to original
container once it is dispensed, and never mix it
with other refrigerant oils.
• Do not allow PVE oil to come in contact with Styro-
foam parts. Damage may occur.
• Do not allow PVE oil to come in contact with vehi-
cle paint. Damage may occur.
• If any connection in the refrigerant loop is opened it
should be closed as soon as possible in order to
minimize the amount of moisture that enters the
system.
• Any components that are replaced should have
dust caps left in place until the component is ready
to be installed in the refrigerant loop.
• Any component removed from the refrigerant loop
should have dust caps in place as soon as possible
in order to minimize moisture intrusion.

Important Safety Notices
WARNING!
Improper practices, carelessness, or ignoring any
warnings may cause death, personal injury, equipment
or property damage.
Read and understand all of the safety precautions and
warnings before performing any repair. This list contains
the general safety precautions that must be followed to
provide personal safety. Special safety precautions are
included in the procedures when they apply.
Work areas should be dry, well lit, ventilated, and be free
from clutter, loose tools, parts, ignition sources and haz-
ardous substances. Be aware of hazardous conditions
that can exist.
• Wear protective glasses and protective shoes when
working.
• Rotating parts can cause cuts, mutilation or strangu-
lation.
• Do not wear loose-fitting or torn clothing. Remove all
jewelry before working.
• Before beginning any repair, disconnect the battery
(negative [-] cable) from both battery boxes and dis-
charge any capacitors.
• Disconnect the air starting motor, if equipped, to pre-
vent accidental engine starting.
• Put a “
DO NOT OPERATE
” tag in the operator's
compartment or on the controls.
• Allow the engine to cool before beginning any repair.
• Always use blocks or proper stands to support the
vehicle or vehicle components before performing any
service work. Do not work on anything that is sup-
ported only by lifting jacks or a hoist.
• To reduce the possibility of personal injury, use a
hoist or get assistance when lifting components that
weigh 23 kg [50 lb] or more. Ensure all lifting devices
such as chains, hooks, or slings are in good condi-
tion and are of the correct load capacity. Make sure
any lifting devices are positioned correctly. Always
use a spreader bar when necessary. The lifting
hooks must not be side-loaded.
• Corrosion inhibitors and lubricating oils may contain
alkali. Do not get the substance in eyes and avoid
prolonged or repeated contact with skin. Do not swal-
low. In case of contact, immediately wash skin with
soap and water. In case of harmful contact, immedi-
ately contact a physician.
Always keep any chemi-
cals OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN
.
• Naptha and Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK) are flamma-
ble materials and must be used with caution. Follow
the manufacturer's instructions to ensure safety
when using these materials.
Always keep any
chemicals OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN
.
• When working on the vehicle, be alert for hot parts on
systems that have just been turned off, exhaust gas
flow, and hot fluids in lines, tubes, and compart-
ments. Contact with any hot surface may cause
burns.
• Always use tools that are in good condition. Make
sure you have the proper understanding of how to
use the tools before performing any service work.
Use ONLY genuine replacement parts from PAC-
CAR.
• Always use the same fastener part number (or equiv-
alent) when replacing items. Do not use a fastener of
lesser quality if replacements are necessary.
