SERVICING 
 
1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 
 
CAUTION 
Refrigeration servicing should be performed by qualified personnel only. 
 
The refrigerant used in the air conditioning system is the environmentally safe HFC 
R134a. This refrigerant is non-explosive, non-flammable, non- corrosive, has practically 
no odor, and is heavier than air. Although R134a is classified as a...

                                                                      AIR CONDITIONER SERVICE MANUAL 412AC-210M 
Revision 7 Page 15 
CAUTION 
It is mandatory that the system be leak free to ensure trouble free operation.  Continuous 
operation of the system with insufficient charge will result in compressor damage. 
 
E. After the system is proven to be leak free, the system should be evacuated for a 
minimum of ½ hour before being charged with HFC R134a. 
 
F. Charging the system with 6.25 lbs. (2.8...

recommended  method.  Always  rotate  clockwise  to  insure  against  loosening  the 
compressor shaft nut. 
If  the  system  was  charged  per  Section 2 paragraph G of  this  Chapter  then  disregard 
manual rotation. 
Operate  system  normally,  check  for  evaporator  fan  operation  on  both  high  and  low 
speed settings. Insure that condenser fans are operating and...

At  these  ambient  temperatures  this  test  should  not  be conducted  for  more  than  15 
minutes.  Testing  the  evaporator  fan  operation  using  the  vent  position  prior  to  rolling  out 
of the hangar and prior to running the air conditioner system is recommended. Check for 
evaporator fan operation on both high and low speed settings. Insure that condenser fan...

Containers of DEC PAG or POE will absorb moisture if left open (hygroscopic). Keep 
containers tightly capped when not in use and keep all system components capped while 
servicing system.

B. Component  Replacement - Once  a  system  is  in  operation  the  lubrication  is  circulated 
through  the  system  along  with  the  refrigerant.  The  refrigerant  becomes  saturated  with 
the oil and carries it throughout the system, lubricating the compressor internal parts. No 
other  component  in  the  air...

F. Compressor Replacement – To properly calculate the amount of oil required in 
the  replacement  compressor,  it  is  necessary  to  pour  the  oil  out  of  the  old 
compressor  into  a  clean container.  Drain  the  oil  out  of  the fill  plug  hole  and  then 
pour  oil  out  of  the  suction  and  discharge  ports  while  rotating  the  center  shaft 
clockwise....
