▪ Keep both stop valves open during operation.
▪ Do NOT apply excessive force to the valve stem. Doing so may
break the valve body.
▪ ALWAYS make sure to secure the stop valve with a spanner, then
loosen or tighten the flare nut with a torque wrench. Do NOT place
the spanner on the stem cap, as this could cause a refrigerant
leak.

▪ When it is expected that the operating pressure will be low (e.g.
when cooling will be performed while the outside air temperature
is low), sufficiently seal the flare nut in the stop valve on the gas
line with silicon sealant to prevent freezing.
Silicon sealant; make sure there is no gap.
To open/close the stop valve
1
Remove the stop valve cover.
2
Insert a hexagon wrench (liquid side: 4 mm, gas side: 6 mm)
into the valve stem and turn the valve stem:
Counterclockwise to open.
Clockwise to close.
3
When the stop valve CANNOT be turned any further, stop
turning.
4
Install the stop valve cover.
Result:
The valve is now open/closed.
To handle the stem cap
▪ The stem cap is sealed where indicated with the arrow. Do NOT
damage it.
▪ After handling the stop valve, tighten the stem cap, and check for
refrigerant leaks.
To handle the service cap
▪ ALWAYS use a charge hose equipped with a valve depressor pin,
since the service port is a Schrader type valve.
▪ After handling the service port, tighten the service port cap, and
check for refrigerant leaks.

▪ Remove the knockout hole (a) in the bottom plate or
cover plate by tapping on the attachment points with a
flat head screwdriver and a hammer.
▪ Optionally, cut out the slits (b) with a metal saw.
NOTICE
Precautions when making knockout holes:
▪ Avoid damaging the casing and underlying piping.
▪ After making the knockout holes, we recommend to
remove the burrs and paint the edges and areas
around the edges using repair paint to prevent rusting.
▪ When passing electrical wiring through the knockout
holes, wrap the wiring with protective tape to prevent
damage.
