Personal injury can result from contact with refrigerant.

This system is under pressure at all times, even if the engine is not
running. Heat should never be applied to a charged system.

Contact with refrigerant can cause frost bite. Keep face and hands away
to help prevent injury.

Protective goggles must always be worn when refrigerant lines are


opened, even if the gauges indicate the system is empty of refrigerant.

Always use caution when a fitting is removed. Slowly loosen the fitting.
If the system is still under pressure, evacuate the system recovering the
refrigerant before removing the fitting.

Personal injury or death can result from inhaling refrigerant through a


lit cigarette.

Inhaling air conditioner refrigerant gas through a lit cigarette or other


smoking method or inhaling fumes released from a flame contacting air
conditioner refrigerant gas, can cause bodily harm or death.

Do not smoke when servicing air conditioners or wherever refrigerant


gas may be present.

Before any checks of the air conditioning and heating system are made,
move the machine to a smooth horizontal surface. Lower all implements
to the ground. Make sure the transmission is in neutral or park and that
the parking brake is engaged. Keep all other personnel away from the
machine or where they can be seen.

Personal injury can result from hot coolant. Any contact with hot
coolant or with steam can cause severe burns. Allow cooling system
components to cool before the cooling system is drained.

NOTICE

Never weld or solder any charged components.

Note: A performance check of the air conditioning system must be made with a manifold gauge
set. Refer to the Testing and Adjusting, "Manifold Gauge Set - Install".

Note: Before you conduct a performance test, refer to the Troubleshooting, "Visual Inspection".

Note: The ambient temperature must be at least 21 °C (70 °F) in order to conduct the following
test.

1. Install the manifold gauge set. Refer to the Testing and Adjusting, "Manifold Gauge Set
(Refrigerant) - Install".

2. Start the engine and operate the engine at 1000 rpm (Low idle).

3. Move the temperature control knob to the maximum cool position. Put the fan switch in the
HIGH position on the side that is for air conditioning.

4. In order to stabilize the system, continue to operate the system at 1000 rpm for a minimum
of 10 minutes.

5. Adjust the engine speed to approximately 1300 to 1400 rpm. Record the readings on the
gauge for discharge (high pressure), and on the gauge for suction (low pressure).

6. Compare the discharge and suction pressures on the manifold gauge set to the pressure
ranges in Table 1 in order to determine if the system is functioning correctly for the current
ambient temperature.

Pressure may be slightly higher in humid conditions and lower in dry conditions.
(4)
When AC High-pressure Test Fitting is located near the Evaporator Inlet, pressure reading will be 83 to
103 kPa (12 to 15 psi) lower.

Pressure before clutch disengagement.
(5)
When AC Low-pressure Test Fitting is located near the Evaporator Outlet, pressure reading will be 14
to 21 kPa (2 to 3 psi) higher.
(6)
When AC Low-pressure Test Fitting is located near the Evaporator Inlet, pressure reading will be in the
range of 138 kPa (20 psi) higher.

7. If the suction and the discharge pressures are not within the normal operating range, refer to
the Troubleshooting, "Air Conditioning System Troubleshooting".

During normal operation of the air conditioning system in 21 °C (70 °F) weather, the discharge
pressure will be 820 kPa (120 psi) to 1300 kPa (190 psi). The suction side pressure will be 70 kPa
(10 psi) to 130 kPa (20 psi).

The outside temperature and humidity will have an effect on the pressures. If the outside
temperature is high, the discharge pressure will be high. In hot weather, the suction and the
discharge pressures will be high. In cooler weather, the suction and the discharge pressure will be
normal or the pressure can be lower.
