Action to be taken when the air conditioner is not used Even if the air conditioner is not used, operate the air conditioner with the engine low idle for several minutes at least once a month so that the lubricating oil in each part of the compressor is not eliminated (running-in of the air conditioner).

If the temperature inside the cabin is low in winter, the air conditioner may be disabled. In such a case, increase the temperature inside the cabin by using the heater, then perform running-in of the air conditioner.

IMPORTANT - If the air conditioner is not operated for a long time, the lubricating oil inside the compressor may be eliminated, and the compressor may be seized or damaged. Make sure to operate the air conditioner once or twice a month even while the air conditioner is not necessary or while the machine is stored for a long time.

- During running - in of the air conditioner, make sure to start it up with the engine low idle.

Never start up the air conditioner with the engine high idle: Such start up may damage the air conditioner.

- If water enters the control panel or the insolation sensor, unexpected failure may be caused. Pay attention so that water does not enter. In addition, make sure to keep fire off the control panel and the insolation sensor.

- Always keep the insolation sensor clean and free from adhesion of dusts so that the air conditioner can offer its auto function sufficiently.

Keep the area around the insolation sensor free from objects which may hinder the sensor function.

- Special tools and instruments are required to fill the refrigerant (gas) and perform other servicing. Make sure to let such works be performed in a service shop with required facilities specified by our company.
