structure and material. Be careful when disassembling it and prevent it from falling,
impact or scratch.
• Use a new O-ring and apply some coolant before installation.
• Since leakage is common in the A/C system, keep the workspace well ventilated.
• Seal the disconnected pipes with plugs, to prevent impurities from entering the system.
