CHECK LEVEL OF REFRIGERANT (GAS)
If there is a lack of refrigerant (gas), the cooling performance will be
poor. When operating the cooler at high speed with the engine at
full throttle, use the receiver sight glass (inspection window) to
check the condition of the refrigerant gas (Freon R134a) flowing in
the refrigerant circuit.
No bubbles in refrigerant flow: Suitable
Some bubbles in flow (bubbles pass continuously): Lack of
refrigerant
Colorless, transparent: No refrigerant
When there are bubbles, the refrigerant gas level is low, so contact your refrigerant dealer to have refrigerant added.
If the air conditioner is run with the refrigerant gas level low, it will cause damage to the compressor.
OPERATING THE AIR CONDITIONER OFF SEASON
Even during the off-season, operate the air conditioner for 3 - 5 minutes once a month to maintain the oil film at all
parts of the compressor.
