Receiver/Dryer, Removing And Installing: Notes

Special tools and workshop equipment required 

WARNING:

Danger due to refrigerant coming out under pressure.

Danger of frost bite to skin and other parts of the body.

  • Evacuate the refrigerant and immediately open the refrigerant circuit afterward.
  • If more than 10 minutes have elapsed since evacuating the refrigerant and the refrigerant circuit was not opened, evacuate the refrigerant again. Pressure in the refrigerant circuit is caused by evaporation.
NOTE:

The receiver/dryer is only removed on the Showa/Keihin condenser.

Depending on the version, the receiver/dryer is either completely replaced or only the dryer cartridge is replaced on the Showa/Keihin condenser (there are different versions. Refer to the Parts Information).
