If gas leakage are discovered in step (3) above,
take the following measures:
If the gas leaks stop when the piping connections
are tightened further, continue working from step

2. Pumping down
• Procedure
(1) Confirm that both liquid side and gas side valves
are set to the open position.
- 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 con-
nect the charge set to the service port of the 3-way
valve.
- Connect the charge hose to the service port.
