CHECK LIST:
PLEASE READ THRU EACH PROCEDURE BEFORE CHARGING,
THEN CHECK OFF EACH ONE IN ORDER.
Make sure that the new belt is tight.
Check direction of water valve. The water valve should be connected
to the hose going to the water pump.
Check orientation of compressor. The compressor should not be rotated
more than 90˚ off the centerline of the oil fill plug (during installation or
while tightening belt).
Evacuate the system for a minimum of 30-45 minutes before charging. Longer
if possible. This will remove any moisture and reveal any small leaks. Make sure
the low-side reaches a minimum of 28-30 inches of vacuum. Failure to
evacuate the system will cause inadequate temperatures and premature
component failure
DO NOT ADD OIL!
All new compressors from Restomod Air contain a full
system charge of oil.
DO NOT CHARGE SYSTEM IN LIQUID FORM. Unlike later model vehicles,
doing so will direct liquid refrigerant into the compressor piston chamber,
causing damage to compressor reed valves and/or pistons, as well as
potentially seizing the compressor. Doing so voids the warranty.
This new system requires R134A refrigerant. It will require 1.5 lbs (or 24 oz).
ADDING MORE THAN THE
RECOMMENDED AMOUNT OF REFRIGERANT WILL NOT LEAD TO COOLER TEMPS!
No other refrigerant is
advisable for our systems. Use of other refrigerants will VOID the warranty.
This new compressor
MUST
be hand-turned 15-20 revolutions after charging. Failure to do this may cause
the reed valves to become damaged (this damage is NOT covered the warranty).
