connection at the manifold gauge set.
5. Detach the wire harness snap lock connector from the clutch cycling or low
pressure switch and install a jumper wire across the 2 terminals of the connector.
6. Open the manifold gauge set low side valve to allow refrigerant to enter the
system. Keep the refrigerant container in an upright position.
7. When no more refrigerant is being drawn into the system, start the engine and set
the control assembly to the MAX cold and HI blower positions to draw the
remaining refrigerant into the system. If equipped, press the air conditioning
switch. Continue to add refrigerant to the system until the specified weight of the
refrigerant is in the system. Then close the manifold gauge set low pressure valve
and the refrigerant supply valve.
8. Remove the jumper wire from the clutch cycling or low pressure switch snap lock
connector. Attach the connector to the pressure switch.
9. Operate the system until pressures stabilize to verify normal operation and system
pressures.
10. In high ambient temperatures, it may be necessary to operate a high volume fan
positioned to blow air through the radiator and condenser to aid in cooling the
engine and prevent excessive refrigerant system pressures.
11. When charging is completed and system operating pressures are normal,
disconnect the manifold gauge set from the vehicle. Install the protective caps on
the service gauge port valves.
LEAK TESTING THE SYSTEM
Connect the manifold gauge set. Be sure that both valves are closed. Both gauges
should read about 122-163 in. Hg (413-551 kPa) with the engine not running. If
very little or no pressure is indicated, leave the vacuum pump valve closed. Open
the refrigerant tank valve and set the low pressure gauge valve to the
counterclockwise position. This will open the system to tank pressure. Check all
system connections, the compressor head gasket and shaft seal for leaks using a
leak detector tool.
Windshield Wipers
For maximum effectiveness and longest element (refill) life, the windshield and
wiper blades should be kept clean. Dirt, tree sap, road tar and so on, will cause
streaking, smearing and blade deterioration if left on the glass. It is advisable to
wash the windshield carefully with a commercial glass cleaner at least once a
month. Clean off the wiper blades with the wet rag afterwards. Do not attempt to
move the wipers by hand; damage to the motor and drive mechanism could
result.
To inspect and/or remove the wiper refills, place the wiper switch in the LOW
speed position and the ignition switch in the ACC position. When the wiper blades
are approximately vertical on the windshield, turn the ignition switch to OFF.
Examine the wiper refills. If they are cracked, broken or torn, they should be
replaced immediately. Replacement intervals will vary with usage, although ozone
deterioration usually limits refill life to about one year. If the wiper pattern is
smeared or streaked, or if the blade chatters across the glass, the refills should
be replaced. It is easiest and most sensible to replace the refills in pairs.
