•	Replace the O-rings with new ones at each fitting, and apply a thin coat of refrigerant oil before installing them. Be sure to use the right O-rings for R-134a or R-1234yf to avoid leakage.

•	Immediately after using the oil, replace the cap on the container, and seal it to avoid moisture absorption.

•	Do not spill the refrigerant oil on the vehicle; it may damage the paint; if the refrigerant oil contacts the paint, wash it off immediately

•	Apply sealant to the grommets.

•	Make sure that there is no air leakage.

•	Charge the system and test its performance.

•	Do not interchange the inlet and outlet heater hoses and install the hose clamps securely.
