Draining Procedure

    IMPORTANT:

    Drain and measure as much of the refrigerant oil as possible from the removed compressor.

  1. Before draining oil, position the compressor verdically (clutch facing upwards) and let it sit for 1 minute.
  2. Position the compressor horizontally, with the ports facing downward, rotate the clutch and shake the compressor in order to remove as much oil from the compressor as possible.
  3. Drain the oil from both the suction and discharge ports of the removed compressor into a clean, graduated container. Rotate the compressor shaft to assist in draining the compressor.
