How to Make Sure Your
A/C Beats the Heat
Summer’s hot and muggy days can become
down right comfortable with a well-maintained
cab air conditioning system. Here are some
ways to help your A/C system keep you cool.
n
Check the drive belt. Verify proper tension
and check for signs of wear.
n
Clean the condenser. It’s often integrated
with the radiator and the oil cooler. All
should be free of any debris that can build
up between units. Use compressed air or
a power washer to remove dust between
condenser fins that can reduce cooling
efficiency.
n
Inspect the compressor and hoses. Oil seepage
from the compressor, hoses, connectors or
couplings can be a potential problem. Contact
your New Holland dealer for suggested repair
options if you detect leakage.
n
Keep cab filters clean. Frequently clean both
the fresh air and recirculating air filters.
n
Check the evaporator drain hose. Don’t let
water collect in the evaporator box. Make
sure the drain hose is unobstructed.
n
Keep the cab airflow high. Especially in
high humidity, holding the cab’s fan speed
higher will reduce the likelihood of the
evaporator core freezing. For non Automatic
Temperature Control (ATC) systems, you
should change cab temperature by adjusting
the temperature setting before decreasing the
fan speed.
n
Don’t repair air conditioning systems
yourself. Clean Air Act legislation requires
that air conditioning systems be serviced
only by personnel certified in refrigerant
recovery and recycling.
New Holland dealers offer air conditioning
maintenance inspections and a full line of
compressors, condensers, and other air conditioning
parts to fit your exact need. Use these services and
parts to help keep your air conditioning performing
at its peak.
