  • Install the dryer desiccant as quickly as possible to prevent the system from absorbing moisture from the air.
  • If you are installing a new dryer desiccant, add the appropriate refrigerant oil for the A/C compressor which installed to the vehicle .
  • New O-rings should be used at each fitting. Prior to installation, apply a thin coat of the same refrigerant oil used in the A/C compressor . Be sure to use the correct O-rings for HFC-134a (R-134a) to avoid leakage.
