Compressor Discharge Method: Installation

  1. Add oil to compressor being installed according to manufacturer's recommended procedure.
    NOTE: See Compressor Oil Check in this Section, and rotate shaft four or five times to permit proper lubrication of the compressor shaft seal. Also clean front face of compressor before installing clutch.
  2. If installing replacement compressor, remove cover plate very slowly to bleed off pressure. Attach fitting assembly, using new "O" rings.
  3. Evacuate, charge, and leak test the system. Remove jumper wire from thermal limiter and reconnect limiter; then, reconnect clutch coil and superheat switch (if equipped).
