CHECK AND ADJUST AIR CONDITIONER
(Machines equipped with cab)
CHECK TENSION OF COMPRESSOR BELT
If the belt is loose, it will slip and will not be able to carry out
cooling properly.
Check the belt tension from time to time. The deflection should
be 10 mm when pressed at a point midway between the drive
pulley and compressor pulley with a finger force of approx. 6 kg
(58.8 N).
When the V-belt is new, it will stretch at first, so always adjust it
after 2 or 3 days.
CHECK LEVEL OF REFRIGERANT(GAS)
WARNING
q
When handling refrigerant gas, always follow local
laws and regulations.
q
The refrigerant used in the cooler is colorless and
odorless and does not harm the atmosphere, but if the
liquid gets into your eyes or on your hands, it may
cause loss of sight or frostbite, so never loosen any
part of the refrigerant circuit.
If the level of the refrigerant (gas) is low, the cooling effect will
be reduced. Run the engine at high idling, and check the flow
of the refrigerant in the refrigerant circuit through the sight
glass of the receiver (1) when the cooler is running at high
speed.
q
No bubbles in refrigerant flow: Suitable (A)
q
Some bubbles in flow
(bubbles pass continuously): Lack of refrigerant (B)
q
Colorless, transparent: No refrigerant (C)
REMARK
When there are bubbles, the refrigerant gas level is low, so
contact your refrigerant dealer to have refrigerant added. If the
air conditioner is run with the refrigerant gas level low, it will
cause damage to the compressor.
New R134a is used as the refrigerant.
