MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE
CHECK AND MAINTENANCE AIR CONDITIONER
Check Level of Refrigerant (gas)
WARNING
If the refrigerant used in the air conditioner gets into your eyes or on your hands, it may cause loss of sight or frostbite. Do not
touch the refrigerant. Never loosen any part of the refrigerant circuit.
Do not bring any flame close to any point where the refrigerant gas is leaking.
If there is a lack of refrigerant (Freon 134a), the cooling
performance will be poor.
When operating the cooler at high speed, there should be no
bubbles in the sight glass (1) (inspection window) mounted on the
condenser unit receiver.
(A) No bubbles in refrigerant flow: Suitable
(B) Some bubbles in flow (bubbles pass continuously):
Lack of refrigerant
(C) Colorless, transparent: No refrigerant
REMARK
When there are bubbles, the refrigerant gas level is low, so contact
your Komatsu distributors to have refrigerant added. If the air
conditioner is run with the refrigerant gas level low, it will cause
damage to the compressor.
Inspection During Off Season
Even during the off-season, operate the air conditioner for 3 to 5 minutes once a month to maintain the oil film at all
parts of the compressor.
