(1) Confirm that both the 2-way and 3-way valves
are set to the open position.
– Remove the valve stem caps and confirm that
– Remove the valve stem caps and confirm that
the valve stems are in the raised position.
– Be sure to use a hexagonal wrench to operate
the valve stems.
(2) Operate the unit for 10 to 15 minutes.
(3) Stop operation and wait for 3 minutes, then
connect the charge set to the service port of
the 3-way valve.
– Connect the charge hose with the push pin to
the 3-way valve.
– Connect the charge hose with the push pin to
the service port.
(4) Air purging of the charge hose.
– Open the low-pressure valve on the charge set
slightly to air purge from the charge hose.

Re-air Purging
(Re-installation)
• Procedure
(1) Confirm that both the liquid side valve and the
gas side valve are set to the closed position.
(2) Connect the charge set and a gas cylinder to
the service port of the Gas side valve.
– Leave the valve on the gas cylinder closed.
– Leave the valve on the gas cylinder closed.
(3) Air purging.
– Open the valves on the gas cylinder and the
charge set. Purge the air by loosening the flare
nut on the liquid side valve approximately 45°
for 3 seconds then closing it for 1 minute;
repeat 3 times.

Evacuation
(All amount of refrigerant leaked)
• Procedure
(1) Connect the vacuum pump to the center hose

(2) Evacuation for approximately one hour.
– Confirm that the gauge needle has moved
toward -76 cmHg (vacuum of 4 mmHg or less).
(3) Close the valve (Lo side) on the charge set,
turn off the vacuum pump, and confirm that
the gauge needle does not move (approxima-
tely 5 minutes after turning off the vacuum
pump).
