CAUTION:

Be certain to adjust the refrigerant oil level when servicing the A/C refrigerant system. Refer to OIL, Refrigerant , Standard Procedure . Failure to properly adjust the refrigerant oil level will prevent the A/C system from operating as designed and can cause serious A/C compressor damage.

NOTE:

When replacing multiple A/C system components, see OIL, Refrigerant , Standard Procedure  to determine how much oil should be added to the refrigerant system.

NOTE:

Replacement of the refrigerant line O-ring seals and gaskets is required anytime a refrigerant line is disconnected. Failure to replace the rubber O-ring seals and metal gaskets could result in a refrigerant system leak.
