  1. Make sure the compressor mounting bolt with the correct length is screwed in. Tighten the mounting bolts with the specified tightening order.

    Tightening Torque: 

    19.6 - 33.3 N.m (2.0 - 3.4 kgf.m, 14.5 - 24.6 Ib-ft)

  2. To install, reverse the removal procedure.
NOTE:
  • When replacing and re-installing the A/C system, do not reuse the seal washer. After replacement, please discard components.
  • If you install a new compressor, drain all the refrigerant oil from the removed compressor and measure its volume. Subtract the volume of drained oil from the original capacity. The result is the amount of oil-compressor oil you should drain from the new compressor (through the suction fitting).
  • Replace the O-rings with new ones at each fitting, and apply a thin coat of refrigerant oil before installing them. Be sure to use the right O-rings for R-1234yf to avoid leakage.
  • To avoid contamination, do not return the oil to the container once dispensed, and never mix it with other refrigerant oils.
  • Immediately after using the oil, replace the cap on the container and seal it to avoid moisture absorption.
