Replacement

Recover the refrigerant with a recovery/ recycling/ charging station.

•	Do not use the same A/C recovery / charging station as conventional belt-driven compressors.

•	Since the electric compressor uses high-voltage, POE oil with high resistivity should be used.

•	If PAG oil mixes into the POE oil of the system, dielectric breakdown may occur due to decreased volumetric resistivity and the A/C compressor may not work.

2.	Drain the coolant. (Refer to Traction Motor System - "Coolant")

3.	Disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal.

4.	Remove the reservoir tank. (Refer to Traction Motor System - "Reservoir")

Separate the refrigerant line (A) after loosening the mounting bolt.
