Compressor Warnings
NOTE: Failure to follow these procedures may void all warranties.
1.With compressor kit installed, and belt tightened, check angle of oil plug on compressor. As shown below, oil plug must not exceed 90˚beyond vertical centerline.
2.Do not connect compressor clutch wire until system is being charged with refrigerant. Running compressor without refrigerant charge may result in compressor failure.
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
●Do not connect compressor clutch wire until system is being charged with refrigerant. Since an A/C system relies on refrigerant to circulate lubricant, running the compressor without refrigerant may
destroy the compressor and void the warranty.
● Proper compressor orientation is important. Sanden compressors may be rotated |
90˚ |
90˚ |
|
from vertical (oil fill plug at top) up to 90˚ in either direction (See illustration). |
