    VII. REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT OF COMPONENTS Ensure all components, fasteners and thumbscrews are securely in place after the equipment is serviced. 1. The Polyolester (POE) oils used in R-404A units can absorb moisture quickly. Therefore it is important to prevent moisture from entering the system when replacing or servicing parts.
  • Page 41: Brazing

    5) Disconnect the Vacuum Pump, and attach a Refrigerant Service Cylinder to the High-side line. Remember to loosen the connection, and purge the air from the Hose. See the Nameplate for the required refrigerant charge. Hoshizaki recommends only virgin refrigerant or reclaimed refrigerant which meets ARI Standard No. 700-88 be used.
