pulley.
Inspection of gap between clutch and pulley:
– Check the gap between clutch and pulley with a feeler gauge.
The gap between clutch and pulley must be inspected at 3 differ‐

ent points, spaced at 120° from one another -arrows-.
Between clutch and pulley, obtain a gap of 0.3... 0.9 mm.
The average among the 3 measurements taken must be lees than
0.6 mm.
The inspection procedure must be repeated until the specified
gap is reached.
– Start the engine.
– Activate the compressor by turning the air conditioner on.
The compressor must remain on for 15 sec., and off for 15 sec.
This operation must be repeated 5 times.
– Inspect again the space between clutch and pulley.
If the space is not in accordance with the specifications, repeat
the inspection procedure completely

– Turn on the compressor (air conditioning) and allow it to op‐
erate for 5 minutes with the engine on idle.
Note
♦ Run the engine only with the refrigerant circuit closed in order
not to damage the compressor.
♦ To prevent damages on the compressor, it is equipped with
“internal oil circuit”. To enable this internal lubrication, the
compressor must have a residual quantity of refrigerant lubri‐
cant, since when there is no gas in the system, the refrigerant
lubricant is not carried to the compressor.
♦ The Adjustment valve for the air conditioner compressor -
N280- is not activated when the refrigerant circuit is empty.
The compressor will turn in vain, following the engine speed
regime.
♦ If a compressor is locked, the overload protection is released
from the compressor shaft. This can be observed when de‐
formations are detected in the Poly-V belt, which are not
always noticed, or by the presence of rubber dust in the Poly-
V belt (elastic) grooves.
If the engine must be started with the cooling system without gas,
observe the following items:
♦ The refrigerant circuit must be completely installed and closed.

Fox 2010 ➤ , Fox 2014 ➤ , SpaceFox 2011 ➤
♦ The compressor must have at least one quarter of the oil level
expected for the refrigerant.
♦ Engine rotations should not exceed 2500 rpm.
♦ Run the engine only for the time strictly required.

Since the cooling system oil is highly hygroscopic, the opened t to the co

Note
When replacing the compressor, slowly remove the replacement

compressor plugs so that the gas used for pressurizing is re‐
leased. This prevents compressor oil loss.
When replacing the circuit components, correct the quantity of

refrigerant oil. Check additional recommendations, related to:
♦ Replacing the compressor ⇒ Air conditioning with R134a re‐
frigerant; Rep. gr. 00 ; Technical data .
♦ Liquid receiver replacement ⇒ Air conditioning with refrigerant
R134a; Rep. gr. 00 ; Technical data .
♦ Replacement of other components ⇒ Air conditioning with re‐
frigerant R134a; Rep. gr. 00 ; Technical data .
In case of doubts about the quantity of cooling gas oil in the re‐
spective circuit, clean it, and then replenish with the recommen‐
ded quantity of cooling gas oil ⇒ Air conditioning with R134a
cooling gas; Rep. gr. 00 ; Cleaning the cooling gas circuit .
