IR, 4-15-04 SERVICE BULLETIN 59-000-2 1. Re-route the flex lines as follows: a. Disconnect the SZ58-2008 No. 8 (discharge) flex line at the compressor. This line runs from the compressor toward the condenser (runs to the aft). (Refer to Falcon 10 IPC 21-52-01, item –305). You may also need to loosen the B-nut at the pressure switch. b. Disconnect the SZ58-20010 No. 10 (suction) flex line at the compressor. This line runs from the compressor toward the evaporator (runs forward). (Refer to Falcon 10 IPC 21-52-01, item –255). See flushing instructions B, 1., b. c. (Recommended) Replace the SZ59-050-1Receiver-Dryer (Reservoir, Tank). (Refer to Falcon 10 IPC 21-52-01, item –285). d. On the top of the compressor align the No. 8 Discharge fitting ZEE P/N: 022-21960M as required to fit the hose to the compressor. Snug the bolt down; do not tighten at this time. e. Connect Hose Assembly P/N: SZ59-2008-1 to the compressor Apply a light film of refrigerant oil to the O-Ring to help seating. Route this Hose under the No. 10 Suction Hose at the compressor. Create as much of a downward loop in the flex line just before the compressor as possible. Tighten the hose B-nut connection at the pressure switch. Tighten the bolt holding the 022-21960M fitting on the compressor. Use a 5/16 12 point socket. Torque the 5/16 torx-head bolt to 17-25 ft.-lb. (23.0-33-9 N-m). f. Connect and align Hose Assembly P/N: SZ59-20010-1 to the compressor Route this Hose over the No. 8 Discharge Hose. Apply a light film of refrigerant oil to the O-Ring to help seating. g.
