[C320-list] Any tips on stalli ng new Cold Machine?

[Jack Brennan]

Hi all:

So my latest (and almost last) major project is replacing the dead Cold Machine so we can have refrigeration. I just removed the old unit, so I have a good idea of the layout and how things go together.

But I was wondering whether anyone had any tips or tricks on doing this? Particularly as it relates to running the refrigeration tubes from the refrigerator to the compressor. It looks simple, but ... what am I missing?

The new Adler Barbour Cold Machine apparently has quick-connect couplers that eliminate the risk of dumping all of the refrigerant, which I am very happy about, seeing as I often get things right the second time.
