Installation Procedure
- Lubricate the O-rings with clean 535 viscosity refrigerant oil.
- Install the O-rings onto the liquid line.
- Install the evaporator tube into the refrigerant filter. Hand tighten the nuts.
- Install the evaporator tube bolt.
- Ensure that the evaporator line is bottomed out into the refrigerant filter.

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
