MAINTENANCE/SERVICE
Cab Air System
COMPRESSOR PROTECTION
The compressor is protected from excessively low
suction and high discharge pressures by two
switches:
• Low suction pressure switch is located at the
outlet of the evaporator (under seat in cab). It
will close when the pressure drops below 4±2
psi and re-open when pressure rises above
20±5 psi.
• High discharge pressure switch is located on
the receiver drier (rear of tractor, behind right
side panel). It will close if pressure exceeds
325±10 psi and re-open when pressure drops
below 250±30 psi.
To prevent damage to the compressor, if the air
conditioning system is shut down by either switch,
locate the source of the problem and correct it
before operating the system.
REFRIGERANT OIL
Whenever the machine is first started after storage
for more than one week: Turn blower switch to
"OFF" and turn A/C temperature control switch to
maximum cooling. Start engine and operate at low
idle. Click blower switch from "OFF" to "LOW" for
one second, then back to "OFF" for 5 to 10
seconds. Repeat this cycle ten times to distribute
the oil throughout the system.
