PRESSURE SWITCH/SAFETY SWITCH   (SINGLE SWITCH)

Remove the dust cover on the pressure 

switch and attach wiring harness to 

electrical connections. If properly installed, 

it will not allow the compressor to engage if 

too little or too much refrigerant.
Pressure switch is a compressor safety 

switch designed to save the compressor 

from failure due to too low or too high of 

pressure in the system.

O-RINGS

•  Use 2 wrenches to tighten fittings.

•  Do not over tighten.

•  Use a few drops of mineral oil with every o-ring.

•  Crushing or ripping an o-ring will create a small leak very 

difficult to locate.

When installing o-rings on the hose connections, be certain 

the o-ring is properly sealed. Also check for sharp edges on 

the seat. If installed wrong, or the seat has a sharp burr, the 

o-ring can be cut. 

           Use the o-ring pack supplied. Not all sizes and quantities 

will be used.

When removing caps, pressure will release.  Do NOT leave drier open to air longer than 

a couple minutes.

•  Insert the drier into the drier mounting bracket

•  Attach the drier liquid tube to the “IN” port on drier and to the connection on the 

condenser

•  Attach drier to condenser
