5 Cut the plastic band fixing lead wires (for 2 pipe thermistors and expansion valve).
6 Remove the hooks of the expansion valve coil from the projection of the expansion valve body by a few turn of
expansion valve coil. Pull up and remove the expansion valve coil. At this time, pay attention not to twist the pipes.
7 Insert the new expansion valve coil for replacement to the expansion valve body. When inserting, fix the expansion
valve coil to catch the projections onto the hooks.
N O T E
The hooks are located each 90o, and the projections are located each 180o.
The hooks shall catch onto the projections completely though the rotation direction does not affect to the operation.
If the hooks do not completely catch onto the projections, it may cause malfunction of expansion valve coil.

this time, fix the lead wires for expansion valve to face the edge downward.
After fixing the lead wires for expansion valve, fix again lead wires (for 2 pipe thermistors and the expansion valve)
together by the plastic band.
