This post show the guide on how to remove and install air conditioner compressors for HITACHI EX5600 excavator.
The air conditioner compressor is located in the rear of the cab bed. There are 3 air conditioner
compressors. The procedures for removal and installation are nearly identical. The explanation here is for air conditioner compressor (rear) (B).
CAUTION: The refrigerant is harmful to the environment. Be sure to recover all of the refrigerant. Servicing, recharging (charging),recovery, and other work must be performed only by a trained and qualified technician.
IMPORTANT: Cap the open ends in case the hoses and pipes have been disconnected. In addition, attach an identification tag onto the connectors, hoses, and pipes for assembly. If the clips which
secure the hoses have been removed, install the clips after connecting the hoses.
