• Use only HFC-134a in this system; do not use
CFC 12 (Freon); do not install parts designed for
use in a CFC system.
• Use a charging station. A/C charging stations and
refrigerant recovery/recycling stations minimize the
release of CFCs and HFCs into the atmosphere.
Use them for all A/C charging and service work
according to their manufacturers' instructions.
• Do not overcharge. This system requires only the
amount of HFC-134a refrigerant shown below. If
you overcharge the system, the engine and the A/
C could malfunction.

INSTALLATION
Customer Information: The information in this
installation instruction is intended for use only by
skilled technicians who have the proper tools,
equipment, and training to correctly and safely add
equipment to your vehicle. These procedures
should not be attempted by "do-it-yourselfers."
• Make sure you install the correct part. Use the
illustrations on pages 2 and 3 as a guide to check
the parts before you install them.
• Don't remove plugs and caps from fittings until
the parts are ready to install. This will keep out
moisture and dirt that could cause wear and
damage.
• Before you connect any line or hose, check and
lube its O-ring. Make sure the O-ring is there (on
the fitting), put a few drops of refrigerant oil on the
O-ring, then connect the fitting.
• You may use any type of refrigerant oil to lubricate
O-rings and fittings.
• If you add or replace refrigerant oil in the system,
use
only
this PAG oil: Sanden SP-10,
P/N 38897-P13-A01.
• Route and secure the lines and hoses properly;
maintain clearance between them and surrounding
parts.
• Before you connect each connector, check its
terminals. Make sure they aren't bent or out of
place.
