    NOTE:
    • When a new condenser is installed, replenish the compressor oil (POE oil).
    • Replace the O-ring of each connection part with a new one, and apply several drops of compressor oil (refrigeration oil) on the O-ring before connecting the hose or line. Use a specified O-ring to prevent R-1234yf leakage.
    • Be careful not to give an impact on the radiator and the condenser pin when mounting the condenser.
    • Charge the system and test the air conditioning performance.
    WARNING:
    • Use the refrigerant retrieval/charge device exclusively used for the electric compressor to inject the designated refrigerant (R-1234yf) and refrigeration oil (POE). If the refrigeration oil (PAG) for the ordinary car is injected, the compressor may be damaged or a safety-related accident may occur.
