SAFETY PRECAUTION 3-1. ALWAYS OBSERVE FOR SAFETY Before obtaining access to terminal, all supply circuits must be disconnected. 3-2. CAUTIONS RELATED TO NEW REFRIGERANT Cautions for units utilising refrigerant R410A Use a vacuum pump with a reverse flow check Use new refrigerant pipes. valve. -
Page 4: Parts Names And Functions
[1] Cautions for service (1) Perform service after recovering the refrigerant left in unit completely. (2) Do not release refrigerant in the air. (3) After completing service, charge the cycle with specified amount of refrigerant. (4) When performing service, install a filter drier simultaneously. Be sure to use a filter drier for new refrigerant. -
