ASSEMBLY REMOVAL
Be careful not to spill the A/C compressor oil and 
remove the A/C compressor.

INSTALLATION SERVICE POINT

>>A<< A/C COMPRESSOR AND CLUTCH 
ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION
When installing the new A/C compressor, install the 
A/C compressor after adjusting the oil volume as fol-
lows.
1. Measure the oil of A/C compressor removed.(X 

mL)

2. Drain the oil (Y mL) given by the following 

expression from a new A/C compressor, and then 
install the A/C compressor.
120 mL - X mL = Y mL
NOTE: 

.

•

120 mL shows the oil volume contained in the 
new A/C compressor.

•

Y mL shows the oil volume stored in the refrig-
erant line, condenser, and cooling unit, etc.

A/C compressor clutch connector

AB

Connect the connector battery to positive battery ter-
minal in the A/C compressor, and then earth the bat-
tery (

−) terminal to the A/C compressor itself. At this 

time, check that the magnetic clutch operating sound 
can be heard.
