The new compressor is filled with 150cc (5.0 fl.oz.) of compressor oil and nitrogen gas. When mounting the compressor on the vehicle, perform the following steps;

Gently release nitrogen gas from the new compressor.
- Take care not to let the compressor oil flow out.
- Inspect O-rings and replace if necessary.

Turn the compressor several times by hand and release the compressor oil in the rotor.
When installing on a new system, the compressor should be installed as it is. When installing on a used system, the compressor should be installed after adjusting the amount of compressor oil. (Refer to COMPRESSOR ASSEMBLY )
