• Recover and recycle refrigerant before removal to comply with environmental rules.
• Compare electrical connectors and mounting bolt patterns before installation.
• Use proper vacuum and recharge equipment to avoid moisture and contamination.
• Inspect related A/C components (drier, expansion valve, hoses) for leaks or damage.
