4.7 Laying suction and pressure lines
ATTENTION Property damage possible.
INFO
A rule of thumb: Always lay the first pipe section starting from the shut-off valve downwards and
parallel to the drive shaft.
As short as
possible
4.8 Operating the shut-off valves (example)
Before opening or closing the shut-off valve, release the valve spindle seal by approx.
counter-clockwise.
After activating the shut-off valve, re-tighten the adjustable valve spindle seal clockwise.

Improperly installed pipes can cause cracks and tears which can
result in a loss of refrigerant.
Proper layout of the suction and pressure lines directly after
the compressor is integral to the smooth running and vibration
behaviour of the system.
