AIR CONDITIONING

ADJUSTMENT

11. All precautions must be taken to prevent

damage to fittings and connections. Slight
damage could cause a leak with the high
pressures used in the system.

12. Always use two wrenches of the correct size,

one on each fitting when releasing and
tightening refrigeration unions.

13. Joints and ’O’ rings should be coated with

refrigeration oil to aid correct seating. Fittings
which are not lubricated with refrigerant oil are
almost certain to leak.

14. All lines must be free of kinks. The efficiency of

the system is reduced by a single kink or
restriction.

15. Flexible hoses should not be bent to a radius

less than 90mm radius.

16. Flexible hoses should not be within 100mm of

the exhaust manifold.

17. Completed assemblies must be checked for

refrigeration lines touching metal panels. Any
direct contact of lines and panels transmits noise
and must be eliminated.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

Routine servicing, apart from visual checks, is not
necessary. The visual inspections are as follows:

Condenser

With a water hose or air line, clean the fins of the
condenser to remove flies, leaves, etc. Check the pipe
connections for signs of oil leakage.

Compressor

Check pipe connections for signs of oil leakage.
Check flexible hoses for swelling. Examine the
compressor belt for tightness and condition.

Sight glass

Examine the sight glass for bubbles with the system
operating. Check connections for leakage.

Evaporator

Examine the refrigeration connections at the unit.
