INTRODUCTION

Service Procedures and Tool Usage

Anyone using a service procedure or tool not recommended in this manual must first satisfy himself thoroughly that neither his safety nor vehicle safety will be jeopardized by the service method he selects. Individuals deviating in any manner from the instructions provided assume all risks of consequential personal injury or damage to equipment involved.

Also note that particular service procedures may require the use of a special tool(s) designed for a specific purpose. These special tools must be used in the manner described, whenever specified in the instructions.

1.Before starting a vehicle, always be seated in the driver's seat, place the transmission in neutral, apply the parking brakes, and push in the clutch pedal. Failure to follow these instructions could produce unexpected vehicle movement, which can result in serious personal injury or death.

2.Before working on a vehicle, place the transmission in neutral, set the parking brakes, and block the wheels. Failure to follow these instructions could produce unexpected vehicle movement, which can result in serious personal injury or death.

Engine-driven components such as Power Take-Off (PTO) units, fans and fan belts, driveshafts and other related rotating assemblies, can be very dangerous. Do not work on or service engine-driven components unless the engine is shut down. Always keep body parts and loose clothing out of range of these powerful components to prevent serious personal injury. Be aware of PTO engagement or nonengagement status. Always disengage the PTO when not in use.

Do not work under a vehicle that is supported only by a hydraulic jack. The hydraulic jack could fail suddenly and unexpectedly, resulting in severe personal injury or death. Always use jackstands of adequate capacity to support the weight of the vehicle.

Before towing the vehicle, place the transmission in neutral and lift the rear wheels off the ground, or disconnect the driveline to avoid damage to the transmission during towing.

REMEMBER,

SAFETY . . . IS NO ACCIDENT!

INTRODUCTION

PERSONAL SAFETY

Refrigerant is transparent and colorless as a gas or liquid. Since it boils at sea-level temperatures of −29.8°C (−21.6°F), refrigerant is a vapor at normal ambient temperatures and pressures.

Refrigerant is flammable when in contact with open flame and will form into poisonous substances when exposed to flame or high temperature.

These characteristics make it mandatory to observe special precautions when handling refrigerant during maintenance/service procedures that involve refrigerant recovery/recycling, recharging, and monitoring of refrigerant in the air conditioning (A/C) system.

Become familiar with the following safety guidelines before attempting to perform any work on the A/C system.

Always wear safety goggles or glasses to

protect your eyes. Since refrigerant boils at extremely low temperatures (−29.8°C, −21.6°F), direct contact with skin will produce frostbite. Treat affected areas of skin as done for frostbite. In the event of accidental contact with eyes, flood eyes immediately with cool water, and then treat with mineral oil or clear petroleum jelly followed by boric acid rinse. Report to a doctor or hospital as soon as possible.

Use care when working around hot components and pressure lines or personal injury could result.

Discharge the system using a refrigerant recovery/recycling station before performing any repair work on the system. Use a UL/SAE-approved recovery/recycling station (i.e., Kent-Moore J 39650, J 39500-B or equivalent.)

Do not release refrigerant into the atmosphere, especially in non-vented areas. If there are any pits in the shop, danger of suffocation is possible because refrigerant is heavier than air.

Never perform any welding on parts of a closed air conditioning system, or in its immediate vicinity. Whether or not the system is charged with refrigerant, the heat developed causes excessive pressure that can damage the system or even cause an explosion.

Do not drop or throw refrigerant cylinders. Do not expose refrigerant cylinders to prolonged sunlight or any other uncontrolled source of heat.

Due to the potential for personal injury and equipment damage involved with liquid charging, Mack Trucks, Inc. recommends only low-side vapor charging.

For system charging, Mack Trucks, Inc. recommends using a portable charging station equipped with a “dial-a-charge” heated charging cylinder (i.e., Kent-Moore J 39500-B or equivalent). This device provides control of refrigerant supply heat and pressure levels, and adjusts for volume fluctuation in refrigerant caused by temperature changes.

Never use direct flame or electric heaters in direct contact with the refrigerant container. High temperatures can raise the pressure to a dangerous level.

Never attempt to connect servicing equipment (e.g., manifold gauge set) while the engine is running.

Never open the high-side hand valve of the gauge set when the manifold gauge set is connected to both the air conditioning system and refrigerant supply cylinder while the A/C system is operating. If hot, high-pressure refrigerant is forced through the gauge to the refrigerant supply cylinder, it could cause the cylinder to rupture and cause personal injury.

Never mix DuPont SUVArefrigerants with air for purposes of leak testing. Laboratory tests have shown these refrigerant products to be combustible when present with high concentrations of air above atmospheric pressure.

If recharging a chassis equipped with DuPont SUVArefrigerant product, never

heat the refrigerant supply cylinder above 52°C (125°F). Doing so may increase cylinder pressure beyond the capacity of the relief devices, causing the cylinder to rupture or shatter.

INTRODUCTION

R-134a vs. R-12 System Component Differences (“Do's” and “Don'ts”)

REFRIGERANT LUBRICANT

If the wrong oil is installed into the A/C system being serviced, system performance will suffer and compressor life will be greatly reduced.

R-134a refrigerant is NOT a direct replacement for R-12 refrigerant because it uses PAG (polyalkylene glycol) as a lubricant instead of the mineral based oil used with R-12.

The following service guidelines apply:

1.DO NOT install R-134a refrigerant into a system containing mineral-based oil lubricant.

2.DO NOT install R-12 refrigerant into a system containing PAG lubricant.

3.DO NOT install mineral-based oil lubricant into a system charged with R-134a refrigerant.

4.DO NOT install PAG lubricant into a system charged with R-12 refrigerant.

5.During reassembly of system components and lines, always use mineral lubricant to lubricate the O-rings for R-134a charged systems.

It is still recommended to use mineral-based oil to lubricate O-rings for R-12 charged systems.

Continue to use MOLYKOTE 1000 (Dow Corning) to lubricate male connectors (threads only) to prevent later difficulty in disassembly of hose fittings from mating components.

A/C SYSTEM HOSES

Always install correct replacement hoses specified for the A/C system being serviced (R-134a or R-12 refrigerant charge). Use of improper hoses may cause a hose to rupture, resulting in personal injury or death.

A/C systems charged with R-134a refrigerant place increased demand on system hoses. When servicing an A/C system, be sure to use only MACKOEM replacement hoses.

RECEIVER DRYER

A/C systems charged with R-134a refrigerant are equipped with a receiver/dryer containing different desiccant material than used in the receiver/dryer of R-12 charged systems.

A receiver/dryer designed for use with an R-134a system can also be installed into an R-12 system.

1.DO NOT install a receiver/dryer designed for use with an R-12 system into an R-134a charged system. Otherwise, the desiccant material will break down and plug the A/C system.

2.SIGHT GLASS:

a.Under “medium-to-high” HIGH SIDE pressures, the PAG lubricant drops out of solution from the refrigerant R-134a. Even with a fully charged system the sight glass will appear white and milky.

b.DO NOT add more R-134a refrigerant to a system based only on the sight glass indication. The best method is to recover all refrigerant, then recharge the system using the required amount of refrigerant specified on the under-hood A/C system information label.

Page 6

INTRODUCTION

EXPANSION VALVE

For an R-134a charged system, the sensing tube of the expansion valve is filled with R-134a refrigerant. The sensing tube of an R-12 system is filled with R-12 refrigerant.

1.DO NOT install an expansion valve designed for an R-12 system into an R-134a charged system.

2.DO NOT install an expansion valve designed for an R-134a system into an R-12 charged system.

Additional Service Precautions for R-134a Refrigerant

Be sure to review ALL precautions. All A/C system service must be performed by qualified, certified A/C technicians! The following guidelines are listed to emphasize ADDITIONAL precautions required for performing service on R-134a charged systems.

PERSONAL PROTECTION

Always wear safety goggles or glasses to protect your eyes. Since R-134a refrigerant boils at extremely low temperatures, direct contact with skin will produce frostbite. Treat affected areas of skin as done for frostbite. In the event of accidental contact with eyes, DO NOT rub the eyes. Proceed to flood the eyes immediately with cool water, then report to a doctor or hospital as soon as possible.

TOXIC GAS

R-134a refrigerant is not combustible. However, in the presence of heat it changes to poisonous phosgene gas which can cause serious damage to the respiratory system or death.

Never discharge refrigerant near an open flame or electrical heating element.

Never smoke in an area where refrigerant is used or stored.

PRESSURIZED A/C SYSTEM DANGER

R-134a refrigerant must be recovered from the A/C system before any system components are removed or replaced. Removing components from a pressurized system can cause serious injury or death.

SYSTEM PERFORMANCE TESTING

Some vehicles have been redesigned with a larger condenser for R-134a refrigerant. Consequently the running HIGH SIDE pressure for these vehicles may be lower than comparable readings for previous R-12 charged vehicles.

INDUSTRY-APPROVED RECOVERY/RECYCLING EQUIPMENT

Always use approved refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment when servicing an R-134a system. Rapid evaporation of escaping refrigerant can displace oxygen in the work area, creating the hazard of suffocation or brain damage, especially in small or enclosed spaces.

SERVICE HOSE FITTINGS

Fittings on service hoses intended for R-134a charged systems are standard Metric SAE quick-disconnect fittings that will work only on R-134a systems.

MANIFOLD GAUGE SET

Never use the same manifold gauge set for servicing BOTH R-134a and R-12 charged systems.

Be sure to use a manifold gauge set that is dedicated to R-134a charged systems only.

COMPRESSOR LUBRICANT REFILL

Each R-134a charged chassis is factory equipped with an under-hood A/C system information label. This label provides the applicable lubricant refill (volume) specification plus the recommended type of refrigerant oil (PAG, or POE for CL models with Cummins ISX engine using CCI compressor) to use in the system.

Page 7

INTRODUCTION

ASSEMBLY LUBRICANT

During reassembly of system components and lines, always lubricate O-rings and other system components for R-134a charged systems, using mineral oil.

Continue to use MOLYKOTE 1000 (Dow Corning) to lubricate male connectors (threads only) to prevent later difficulty in disassembly of hose fittings from mating components.

LEAK TESTING

Never mix R-134a refrigerant with air for purposes of leak testing. Laboratory tests have shown this type of refrigerant to be combustible when present with high concentrations of air above atmospheric pressure.

SYSTEM CHARGING

If recharging an R-134a system, never heat the refrigerant supply cylinder above 52°C (125°F). Exceeding this temperature may cause cylinder pressure to increase beyond the capacity of the relief devices, resulting in a ruptured or shattered cylinder.

Since R-134a refrigerant is of lower density than R-12 refrigerant, the amount (lbs.) of R-134a required to charge a comparable air conditioning system is also reduced.

Each R-134a charged chassis is factory equipped with an under-hood A/C system information label. This label will provide the applicable R-134a system charge specification plus R-134a product recommendation.

EXPLANATION OF NUMERICAL CODE

Explanation of Three-Digit

Numerical Code

The organization of MACK service manuals has been upgraded to standardize manual content according to a reference system based on component identification. The new reference system will help link the information contained in this publication with related information included in other MACK service/warranty publications, such as associated service bulletins, warranty manuals, and MACK Service Labor Time Standards.

The system is based on a numerical code, the first digit of which identifies the general component grouping as listed here:

GROUP 000 — GENERAL DATA

GROUP 100 — CHASSIS

GROUP 200 — ENGINE

GROUP 300 — CLUTCH, TRANSMISSION, TRANSFER CASE AND PTO

GROUP 400 — STEERING, AXLES, WHEELS AND TIRES, DRIVELINE

GROUP 500 — BRAKES, AUXILIARY SYSTEMS

GROUP 600 — CAB, TRUCK BODY

GROUP 700 — ELECTRICAL

The second two digits of the three-digit code are used to identify the system, assembly or subassembly, as appropriate, within each of the groupings. The codes applicable to this publication are shown at SECTION HEADINGS, as necessary, to guide you to specific component information.

Additionally, a two-character alpha code (i.e., [VG] VALVE, EXPANSION) is shown with each operation. This alpha code, in combination with the three-digit Group number, identifies the specific assembly, subassembly or part, and directly relates to the first five positions of the operation code listed in MACK Service Labor Time Standards.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

A/C SYSTEM FEATURES AND OPERATION — RED DOT SYSTEM [637]

CH, CL and CX System Description [637]

CH AND CL MODEL CAB

The CH and CL model cab A/C system is a cable-operated water valve control system. The control cable to the water valve limits the amount of coolant flow through the heater core depending on the temperature control lever position.

CX MODEL CAB WITHOUT CONSTANT TEMPERATURE CONTROL (CTC)

The CX model cab A/C system is a cable-operated water valve control system. The control cable to the water valve limits the amount of coolant flow through the heater core depending on the temperature control knob position.

CX MODEL CAB AND CH AND CL MODEL CABS WITH CONSTANT TEMPERATURE CONTROL (CTC)

The CX model cab and CH and CL model cabs with Constant Temperature Control (CTC) A/C system use an electronically controlled water valve control system. The CTC maintains a pre-selected temperature by pulsating the flow of coolant through the heater core. The air output temperature is monitored by the circuit board inside the A/C unit, and any change in output temperature activates the circuit board, energizing or de-energizing the solenoid valve. The solenoid valve, located inside the A/C unit, controls the air supply that opens or closes the water valve.

MILLENNIUM SLEEPER

The CH, CL and CX model millennium sleeper A/C systems use a rotary actuator motor controlled blend air door system. The actuator motor controls the position of the blend air door depending upon the temperature control knob position.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

A/C SYSTEM FEATURES AND OPERATION — BLEND AIR SYSTEM [637]

CH, CHN, CL, CT, CV, CX and CXN System Description [637]

The blend air Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) cab unit for the CH, CHN, CL, CT, CV, CX and CXN chassis is basically a self-contained unit secured to the cab using four bolts. A snap-in fresh air duct connects the unit to

the cab dash-panel opening. This unit uses blend door technology to maintain and regulate the desired temperature level within the cab. This design eliminates the use of the cable-operated heater control water valve that is used in Red Dot HVAC systems. The major components of the unit are common and consist of the following:

Heater core

A/C evaporator core

Blower motor

Fresh air, mode and blend doors

Control panel

Figure 10 — Blend Air HVAC Unit

Three versions of the blend air HVAC unit are available. The regulated or Automatic Temperature Controlled (ATC) unit, the base or manual-temperature controlled unit and the heater-only unit. These units feature five primary modes of air flow with fresh air and recirculation control and a five-position fan switch ranging from 0 (Off) to 4 (High). The ATC unit uses a thermistor-type air temperature sensor to automatically maintain the desired cab temperature through the use of electronically controlled electric blend door actuators. The manually controlled base unit uses cables to manually position the blend doors for desired temperature and air flow direction.

The Regulated (ATC) control panel uses the following rotary control knobs and push-button switches to operate the A/C system:

1.The blower rotary control knob is a five-position switch used to control the amount of air delivered through the vents.

2.The temperature rotary control knob allows the operator to adjust the temperature of the air in the cab. (The temperature is regulated and maintained electronically after desired temperature position is chosen.)

3.The mode selection rotary control knob allows the operator to choose the direction of air in the cab (panel, panel/floor, floor, defrost/floor, and defrost positions).

4.The recirculation (RECIRC) push-button switch allows the operator to choose the type of air circulating within the cab (fresh or recirculated air).

5.The A/C push-button switch allows the operator to turn the A/C clutch on or off.

6.An air grid opening is located at the lower left corner of the ATC version control panel and is labeled ATC. This air grid provides cab air temperature to the air temperature sensor for automatic temperature control of the system.
