frigerant recycling system.
i. Install new compressor and braze into place with
field--supplied copper slip couplings.
j.Connect wiring: replace wire terminals if necessary.
k. Proceed with evacuation and charging (15.9 OZ. --
.45 KG R22). Pinch off lines where angle valves were
added. Cut off angle valves above pinch--off , and
