DESCRIPTION
When servicing the Harrison A-6 compressor prevent
dirt or foreign material from getting on or into the com
pressor parts and system during disassembly or reassem
bly
Keep tools and work area clean. Clean the compressor
exterior before disassembly. Clean parts with trichloroe-
thane naptha or Stoddard solvent kerosene or equiva
lent. Dry with air.
Use a non-lint producing type cloth to clean each part.
Although certain service operations can be performed
without removing the compressor from the vehicle the op
erations described here are based on bench repair with
the compressor removed from the vehicle. They have
been prepared in sequence in order of accessibility of the
components (figure 1).
For compressor removal and installation refer to the
proper truck service manual.
Do not kink or place excessive tension on lines or
hoses.
After removing the compressor from the vehicle drain
and measure the refrigerant oil. Add new 525 viscosity
refrigerant oil after repair. Refer to “ Specifications.”
IDENTIFICATION
An identification label attached to the compressor
provides the name of the manufacturer model number
and build code. If the label is removed or becomes
dislodged during service operation reattach it using an
adhesive sealant such as Loctite 312 or equivalent.
