Do not allow the pulley to come into contact with the compressor oil.

(d) With the pulley facing down, rotate the pulley in the direction shown by the arrow 10 times at a rate of approximately once every 2 seconds (*2).





NOTICE:
If the pulley is rotated, refrigerant or oil might splash out. Thus, keep your face away from the compressor port.

(e) Rotate the pulley once in the direction shown by the arrow while quickly turning the compressor so the pulley is up (*3).





(f) Proceed with the above procedure (*1) and drain the oil (*4).

(g) Drain the oil by repeating the procedures above approximately 5 times (from (*2) to (*4)).
