8. Fan
D Blows air through the evaporator into the cabin.
D Located in the evaporator housing in the cabin.
D The fan switch controls the magnetic clutch of the air conditioner compressor; air
conditioning operates only if the fan is in operation.
9. Thermostat
D Controls cabin temperature when air conditioning is on.
D The regulating switch is located on the evaporator housing.
D Controls the operation of compressor magnetic clutch: turns compressor to idle
when the set temperature is reached (cuts off current to magnetic clutch).
10. Heater valve
D The valve is used for regulating the amount of water flowing through the heater cell.
D Located on the heater.
11. Heater cell
D Transfers heat to the cabin air from the hot engine coolant flowing through the cell.
D Located in the evaporator housing in the cabin.
12. Air filter
D Removes dust from the incoming air.
D Located in the evaporator housing outside the cabin.
D The air cleaner should be cleaned with pressurized air and replaced regularly; the
service interval greatly depends on the quality of the surrounding air.
13. Control switch
D The air conditioning system is turned on and off with the control switch located in
the control panel in the cabin.

2. OPERATION
The compressor circulates refrigerant R134a in a closed circuit system.
D Refrigerant vapour pressurized by the compressor is led through the condenser
(3). As the temperature of the vapour is higher than the ambient temperature, it
loses heat to the outside air. This loss of heat condenses the vapour to liquid form.
The condenser has a fan (a) to provide necessary cooling.
D The liquid refrigerant flows through the drier (4). Moisture is the severest problem
in air conditioners, and thus it must be removed as completely as possible. Water
will freeze in the circuit!
D Next, the liquid refrigerant flows through the expansion valve (7) to the evaporator
(6). The expansion valve controls the amount of refrigerant entering the evaporator
cell by choking the flow.
D The refrigerant entering the evaporator absorbs heat from the surrounding air. Air
from the cabin is circulated through the evaporator by a fan (8), whereby heat is
absorbed and moisture condenses from the air to the cold surfaces of the
evaporator. Due to its low boiling point, the refrigerant again changes into vapour
in the evaporator.
D Then the refrigerant vapour enters the intake side of the compressor, and the
circulation continues as described above.

1. Air conditioner control switch
– locates on the main switch panel
2. Fan switch
– three fan speeds are available
– the same fan is used for air conditioner and heater
– air conditioning works only when fan is on (switch positions 1 to 3)
3. Air conditioner thermostat
regulator knob
– used for setting desired cabin temperature (cooling power)
4. Air circulation selector knob
– the fan can either take fresh air through the air cleaner from outside or recirculate
the cabin air
5. Air flaps
– flap control air circulation in the cabin (selector 4)
6. Air vents
– the vents can be turned to direct warm/cool air from the fan to desired directions

7. Air cleaner
– on the wall of the cabin
– removes impurities from air taken in from outside
– air cleaner must be regularly blown clean with pressurized air and replaced when
necessary; the required service interval greatly depends on the quality of the
outside air (check cleaner element at least every six months)
8. Heater control valve
– the valve is used for regulating heating power by increasing/reducing the liquid flow
through the heater cell

3.5. Cold and dry spells, when the unit is rarely used
Start the cooling system, and allow the compressor to run a few minutes once a week, to
keep the connections, sealings, etc. lubricated. If a low–pressure switch is connected to
the system, it must be bypassed if the ambient temperature drops below –1
Otherwise, the compressor will not start.

Operation
Air conditioning is switched on with the control switch (1) (located on the top of the device),
provided with an indicator light (2). However, the current to this switch comes through the
fan control switch (3); if the fan is on, the switch (1) also receives current. When the fan
switch (3) is in the 0–position, the air conditioning system does not work, because the the
switch (1) gets no current.
The fan switch (3) has three positions for different speeds. In position 1, the current to the
fan motor (5) goes through the resistor (4), whereas in position 2 only part of the current
goes through the resistor (4), and the fan speed is higher. In position 3, the current flows
directly to the fan motor (5).
When air conditioning is switched on, current flows from switch (1) to the thermostat (6).
The thermostat is used for selecting the desired temperature of the air. If the temperature
rises above the set value, the thermostat closes. The current coming from the thermostat
(6) flows to the pressostat (8). If the system has the required amount of refrigerant
(pressure is sufficient), the pressostat keeps the electric circuit closed, and current flows
to the magnetic clutch (10) of the air conditioner compressor. When live, the clutch
engages the compressor drive; the compressor drive pulley revolves always when the
engine is running, but the compressor will rotate only when the magnetic clutch (in the
pulley) becomes live and engages the drive. When the drive is engaged, the magnetic
clutch in the pulley rotates with it; when the clutch is dead, only the pulley rotates.

Note!
Always when system is opened it must be purged (to get all moisture out) and charged.
Often the filter drier must be replaced.
Use the air conditioning unit weekly at least for 5 minutes. The compressor will be
lubricated and moving parts will stay clean and won't oxidize.

1. OPERATION
When the start button (4) is pressed, the hydraulic valve (7) and the pneumatic valve (5)
open. A hydraulic pressure of 100 bar is now reaching the pump unit (1). Through the
dispensers (3), the pressurized grease is led to the injector (2). Pressurized air is used
for injecting the pressurized grease onto the drill rod thread.
The dispensers (3) are adjustable; factory setting is 1000 mm3 . Refer to adjusting
instructions.
