R134a Retrofit, Refrigerant Oil Distribution
If replacement of defective components is necessary before retrofitting to R134a, identify refrigerant circuit by compressor type and add PAG refrigerant oil directly to component according to following application charts.
Caution! The following total system oil capacities are the maximum allowed for each compressor and refrigerant circuit combination. Do not exceed the total system oil capacity. Compressor damage and a decrease in cooling performance will result.

Retrofit Procedure
Discharge and capture refrigerant R12 using Kent Moore ACR3 or equivalent. Evacuate system to remove any R12 contaminants Remove refrigerant oil from compressor; depending on accessibility, use one of the following methods: Use refrigerant oil evacuation feature of Kent Moore ACR 3, ACR 4 or equivalent. Remove compressor, unscrew oil drain plug and drain refrigerant oil. Identify compressor type and fill with quantity of PAG refrigerant oil specified in table on page 6. Reinstall compressor (if removed). Install new Orings on compressor suction and discharge hose fittings. Replace receiver drier. Use new Orings Identify and install correct R134a adapters (from Kit Part No. 357 820 794) to high pressure and low pressure service valves. A A Low pressure valve 1, 7/16 connection Part No. 357 820 797 A High pressure valve 2, 3/8 connection Part No. 357 820 797 or high pressure valve 2, 7/16 connection Part No. 357 820 797B
Evacuate system for a minimum of 30 minutes using Kent Moore ACR4 or equivalent.

R134a Retrofit, Preparation, continued If a component is replaced prior to retrofitting
the system to R134a, an appropriate amount of PAG refrigerant oil must be added to the circuit. For oil quantities per component, refer to Oil Distribution charts starting on page 8.

Caution!
Always use separate refrigerant recovery, recycling and recharging service equipment for R12 and R134a systems. If the same piece of equipment is used for both R12 and R134a systems, residual traces of refrigerant will contaminate and damage the equipment. Service equipment includes recovery, recycling, recharging station, vacuum pump, manifold gauges, etc.
Caution! Do Not blow compressed air and nitrogen through the compressor or expansion valve. Refrigerant circuits retrofitted to use R134a must not be rinsed with agent R11. Replacement compressors are filled with nitrogen. If gas does not escape when removing protective caps on suction and discharge ports, assume leakage and do not install compressor. When replacing damaged compressors, ensure existing mineral based refrigerant oil is drained and replaced with PAG oil. Always replace receiver drier if refrigerant circuit is left open. Due to residual amounts of mineral based refrigerant oil in systems retrofitted to use refrigerant R134a, the newly installed PAG refrigerant oil will discolor immediately after use. This is normal and does not indicate a refrigerant related fault.
