Preventative Maintenance
4.2 - VERIFICATION OF REFRIGERANT GAS LOAD IN THE SYSTEM
After the air conditioning system is operating for approximately 45 minutes,
with the magnetic clutch attached and the vehicle's motor working at a
minimum rotation of 1500 RPM, the refrigerant gas must flow through the liquid
viewfinder without any bubbles.
Note: the refrigerant gases should not be disposed on the environment (8,
CFC – Halon prohibitive directive, 06/05/1991).
4.3 - CAREFUL MEASURES DURING WINTER
To prevent against leakage on the compressor's mechanical seal, operate the
air conditioner for 15 minutes. This operation must be performed twice a month
at a temperature higher than 8°C. the liquid tank and the other components of
the air conditioner must be inspected.
During the maintenance activities, a special attention must be given to
corrosion signs or any mechanical damage. All components which do not
show perfect condition, must be replaced for security measures.
ATTENTION: In case any problem in the cooling circuit occurs, the repair must
be carried out by an authorized service station, or an expert.
