Introduction
Vehicle compressors Series FK 4 of Bock are among the most wide-spread machines
used for bus A/C applications. The criteria that speak for choosing a FK 4 compressor are
its compact dimensions, its low weight, the wide capacity spectrum together with the high
operating safety and service-friendliness.
This maintenance manual is intended to make the repair and maintenance of the FK 4
easier for the servicing personnel. The maintenance manual contains a complete
description of each work step for the disassembly and assembly of the compressor
components. Each step must be carefully adhered to in order to ensure a reliable repair.
Reminder:
For replacing components Bock provides suitable spare part kits. Yet assembly jobs
which go beyond the replacement of the shaft seal, the valve plates and - if there
is one - the capacity regulator (accessory) should be checked carefully for their
economic efficiency beforehand.
The maintenance manual describes the standard type of the FK 4 compressor

service manual may differ from the unit which you have come across. In these
