IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR POWER STEERING PUMP
Follow these procedures to ensure that the system is filled and purged correctly.
Prior to starting the car, fill the pump reservoir with power steering fluid. Use fluid designed for use in power steering;
brake or hydraulic fluid is not an acceptable substitute.
With your car in “park”, the emergency brake engaged, and the engine running, SLOWLY turn the steering wheel all the
way to the right and then all the way to the left. With the help of a second person and using a long transmission funnel
to insure that you are safely clear of moving parts, simultaneously pour power steering fluid into the reservoir while
continuing to cycle the steering wheel. Do this until the reservoir is properly filled and the fluid level remains constant.
Fully tighten the cap on the reservoir.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR AC COMPRESSOR
All charging procedures should be performed by a licensed and certified technician. Installer and technicians should read
this sheet and all component instructions carefully before starting work. Please call if you have any technical questions
before, during or after the installation. Our knowledgeable staff will be glad to assist you with any questions you have.
WARNING: Do not connect power to the AC clutch wire without first connecting hoses and charging the system. Serious
damage to your compressor can occur and the warranty will be voided.
The Sanden A/C compressor supplied with your Eddie Motorsports S.drive kit is pre-filled with oil and Nitrogen charged
from the factory to insure proper lubrication of the internals during storage and transport. Do not remove the block off
plate on top of the compressor until you are ready to install the hoses and charge the system.
Refrigerant
The Sanden A/C compressor supplied with your Eddie Motorsports S.drive kit is compatible with 134a refrigerant which
is commonly used in late model and aftermarket A/C systems. All part warranties are voided if any refrigerant other than
R134a is used. If your car is equipped with its original A/C system and components, it will be necessary to convert your
system to use 134a. Consult a reputable A/C system manufacturer for details on this conversion. We recommend the
factory air experts at Classic Auto Air 877-342-5526
System Charging Tips & Warnings PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE CHARGING YOUR A/C!
1. Please keep in mind that regardless of you or your technician’s experience, the charging processes for your Sanden
pump will vary greatly from stock OEM systems. Failure to follow these steps and proper charging procedures will result
in an improper installation or damaged item and WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY!
2. DO NOT ADD OIL! All new Sanden compressors contain a full system charge of oil.
3. Before charging the system and putting power to the compressor, it is necessary to clear the oil from the compressor
head. With the belt removed and the lines hooked up, manually turn the compressor clutch hub (not the pulley) a
minimum of 10 complete revolutions to clear the oil.
4. DO NOT CHARGE THE SYSTEM IN LIQUID FORM. Unlike later model vehicles, doing so will direct liquid refrigerant into
the compressor piston chamber, causing damage to the compressor reed valves and/or pistons, as well as potentially
seizing the compressor. Doing so voids all warranty claims.
5. USE A CHARGING STATION TO EVACUATE AND CHARGE YOUR SYSTEM
DO NOT TILT, SHAKE OR TURN REFRIGERANT CAN UPSIDE DOWN DURING THE CHARGING PROCESS WHILE THE
ENGINE IS RUNNING! Evacuate the system for a minimum of 45 minutes before charging. Longer if possible. When using
a charging station, meter the refrigerant into the system with the vehicle turned off. Then allow a minimum of 30
