Component Inspection

INSPECTION




1. INSPECT MAGNETIC CLUTCH CLEARANCE

a. Set the dial indicator to the magnetic clutch hub. b. Connect the battery positive lead to the terminal 1 of the magnetic clutch connector and the negative lead to the earth wire. Turn on and off the magnetic clutch and measure the clearance.

Standard clearance: 0.35 - 0.60 mm (0.013 - 0.023 in.)

If the measured value is out of the standard range, remove the magnetic clutch hub and adjust it with magnetic clutch washers.

NOTE: Adjustment shall be performed with 3 or less magnetic clutch washers.

2. INSPECT COMPRESSOR OIL

a. When replacing the compressor and magnetic clutch with a new one, after gradually removing the refrigerant gas from the service valve, drain the following amount of oil from the new compressor and magnetic clutch before installation.

Standard amount:
(Oil capacity inside new compressor and magnetic clutch: 120 + 15 cc (4.0 + 0.5 fl.oz) ) - (Remaining oil amount in the removed compressor and magnetic clutch) = (Oil amount to be removed when replacing)

NOTE:
- When checking the compressor oil level, observe the precautions on the cooler removal/installation.
- Because compressor oil remains in the pipes of the vehicle, if a new compressor and magnetic clutch is installed without removing some oil inside, the oil amount becomes too much, preventing heat exchange in the refrigerant cycle and causing refrigerant failure.
- If the remaining oil in the removed compressor and magnetic clutch is too small in volume, check for oil leakage.
- Be sure to use ND-OIL8 for compressor oil.
