Required amount of additional refrigerant charge = [(Amount of additional refriger-
ant charge per ft. of each size of liquid tube × its tube length) + (...) + (...)] + [Nec-
essary amount of additional refrigerant charge per outdoor unit + (...) + (...)]
* Always charge accurately using a scale for weighing.
* If the existing tubing is used, and the amount of on-site additional refrigerant
charge exceeds the value listed below, then change the size of the tubing to
reduce the amount of refrigerant.

* When bending the tubes, use a bending
radius that is at least 4 times the outer
diameter of the tubes.
In addition, take sufficient care to avoid
crushing or damaging the tubes when
bending them.
