Refer to Table 2 for the processing dimensions of the
•
fl are.
Use the fl are nut provided with the unit.
•
Apply ether oil or ester oil only to inner side of the
•
fl are
and screw in the fl are nut three to four turns fi rst
by hand at the time of connecting the fl are nut.
(Refer to Fig. 4)

CAUTION
Do not excessively tighten the fl are nut.
•
Doing so will break the fl are nut and refrigerant leakage may
result.
Make sure that all parts around the fl are are free of oil.
•
The drain pan and the resin part may be deteriorated if oil is
attached.
If no torque wrenches are available, refer to Table 3 as a
•
standard.
When the fl are nut is tightened with the spanner, the
tightening torque should increase suddenly. Tighten the
fl are nut further for the corresponding angle shown in
Table 3.

check that there is no
gas leakage.
Refer to the illustration on the right-hand side and be sure
(3)
to perform heat insulation work on the piping joints after
gas leakage checks.

liquid piping and gas piping, respectively, and conduct
heat insulation work.
(Tighten both edges of the Insulation for fi tting (6) and
(7) for each joint with the Clamp material (1).)
Make sure that the joint of the Insulation for fi tting (6)
•
and (7) for the joint on the liquid piping and gas piping
side faces upward.
Wrap the Sealing pad (small) (8) around the Insulation
•
for fi tting (6) and (7) for the joint (fl are nut part).
CAUTION
Be sure to insulate any fi eld piping all the way to the piping
•
connection inside the unit. Any exposed piping may cause
condensation or burns if touched.
