Compressor Manifold – Read the precautions below, BEFORE installing the
compressor manifold. To install themanifold remove the bolts & protective cover,
being sure to leave the o-rings on compressor. Apply anti-seize to the threads of
the two 8mm-1.25 x 25mm socket head cap screws. Place manifold on
compressor and attach with the two 8mm cap screws and tighten firmly. Attach
compressor lines at this point or seal off threaded ends of manifold.
IMPORTANT
• Only remove sealed cap on compressor and install manifold if you plan on
charging your system immediately, leaving the compressor open to outside air
can introduce moisture into the system causing the cooling system not to
operate properly.
• Never connect the compressor clutch wire and run the compressor unless the
system is charged. Serious damage may occur to compressor. Do not install the
manifold unless you are going to finish installing the a/c hoses and never connect
the compressor clutch wire until system is ready to charge with Freon.
• Although the compressor is supplied with oil, the level may not be correct for
the entire system. Consult the instruction manual of the air conditioning unit for
proper levels and system charging procedures.
• Billet Specialties recommends having your air conditioning charged and
serviced by an automotive air conditioning service center with the proper
equipment to ensure many years of proper operation.
