NOTICE
During pump down operation, stop the compressor before
removing the refrigerant piping. If the compressor is still
running and the stop valve is open during pump down, air
will be sucked into the system. Compressor breakdown or
damage to the system can result due to abnormal pressure
in the refrigerant cycle.
Pump down operation will extract all refrigerant from the system into
the outdoor unit.
