Installation Notes and Tips

Before installation, verify FS10 compressor fitment and confirm the vehicle uses R134a refrigerant. Replace the orifice tube and accumulator during compressor service to help reduce the risk of repeat contamination. Flush the system as needed, evacuate with proper vacuum equipment, and charge to the vehicle manufacturer’s specified refrigerant and oil requirements.
