▪ Keep both stop valves open during operation.
▪ Do NOT apply excessive force to the valve stem. Doing so may
break the valve body.
▪ Always make sure to secure the stop valve with a spanner, then
loosen or tighten the flare nut with a torque wrench. Do NOT place
the spanner on the stem cap, as this could cause a refrigerant
leak.

▪ When it is expected that the operating pressure will be low (e.g.
when cooling will be performed while the outside air temperature
is low), sufficiently seal the flare nut in the stop valve on the gas
line with silicon sealant to prevent freezing.
Silicon sealant, make sure there is no gap.

To open/close the stop valve
1 Remove the valve cover
2 Insert a hexagon wrench (liquid side: 4 mm, gas side: 6 mm)

To handle the service cap
Take the following guidelines into account:
▪ Always use a charge hose equipped with a valve depressor pin,
since the service port is a Schrader type valve.
▪ After handling the service port, tighten the service port cap
securely. For the tightening torque, refer to the table in chapter
"7.4.6 To handle the stem cap" on page 31.
▪ Check for refrigerant leaks after tightening the service port cap.
