Rust can accumulate on the threaded openings of certain air conditioner accumulators. The suspect accumulators are 3E-0443 Accumulator, 151-5261 Accumulator, and 152-2823 Accumulator. The rust condition can cause a restriction in the air conditioning system. Solution:
If service work needs to be performed on an air conditioning system or a complaint arises concerning a restriction in the system, inspect the accumulator for rust in the openings. Use a wire brush to remove the rust. Lubricate the threads with mineral. See the illustration for typical openings for rust accumulation.COPYRIGHT 1999 CATERPILLAR ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
