    NOTE:
    • If you're installing a new condenser, add refrigerant oil (PAG OIL).
    • Replace the O-Rings with new ones at each fitting, and apply a thin coat of refrigerant oil before installing them. Be sure to use the right O-Rings for R-134a to avoid leakage.
    • Be careful not to damage the radiator and condenser fins when installing the condenser.
    • Be sure to install the lower mount cushions of condenser securely into the holes.
