Air Conditioning (A/C) Compressor

The compressor is protected from excessively low suction and high discharge pressures by two switches that
shut down the compressor to prevent damage to the system. These switches do not require regular servicing or
maintenance. Contact your MacDon Dealer if you suspect a problem with the switches.

• The low pressure switch is normally closed with an A/C charge in the system. It is located at the outlet of the

evaporator (under cab in A/C box). It will open when the pressure falls to 2–8 psi (14–55 kPa) and close when
pressure rises above 15–25 psi (103–172 kPa).

• The high pressure switch is normally closed with an A/C charge in the system and is located on the receiver drier

(right-hand frame rail, behind back of fuse panel). It opens if pressure exceeds 360–380 psi (2482–2620 kPa) on
rising pressure. It will close when pressure falls below 220–280 psi (1517–1931 kPa) on falling pressure.

If the compressor cycles rapidly due to rapid pressure changes, the cab display module (CDM) displays a warning
“CHECK A/C SYSTEM”. Contact your Dealer.
