3 - HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS
Oil quantity inspection
There is no particular need for frequent inspection
or replacement of compressor, although it is
recommended to check operating refrigerant
pressure and oil level at the start of the season.
Please replace the refrigerant and restore the
system
oil,
refrigerant
charge
to
factory
specifications if:
●
The AC system is opened for repair or
replacement of any component (e.g. evaporator,
condenser or receiver drier)
●
Any loss of charge - refrigerant or oil - is
detected.
Handling precautions
1. The oil must be free from dust, metal filings, etc.
2. Do not mix oils.
3. The moisture content must not exceed 1,000
ppm.
4. The oil easily absorbs moisture when the
container is open. Therefore always seal the
container immediately after use.
Oil contamination
Unlike engine oil, no cleaning agent is added to the
compressor oil. Even if the compressor is run for a
long period (approximately 1 season), the oil never
becomes turbid as long as there is nothing wrong
with the compressor or its method of use. Inspect
the extracted oil for any of the following.
●
Increased opacity of the oil.
●
Color change to red.
●
Presence of foreign matter, metal filings, etc.
