Cautions on replacement of compressors: 1) Before installing new compressors, remove the sealing rubbers and weld the compressors with corresponding pipes.
Page 228
Specific procedure is as follows: 1) GMV5 series units use FVC68D or FV-68H lubricant. Make sure to confirm the trademark of the lubricant first. Lubricant of other trademarks is not allowed.
Page 229
NOTE: Lubricant is of great importance to the normal running of compressors. You should follow Gree‘s requirement to add qualified lubricant of the specified trademark and ensure properness of fill amount. Step 14: Vacuum-pump. After lubricant is added, keep on extracting air through a vacuum pump till the internal pressure reaches the absolute pressure 0 kgf/cm2 (0psi)and the pressure gauge reads -1 kgf/cm2 (-145psi).
