4
Install the stop valve cover.
Result:
The valve is now open.
To fully open the Ø19.1~Ø25.4 mm stop valve, turn the hexagonal
wrench until a torque between 27 and 33 N•m is achieved.
Inadequate torque may cause leakage of refrigerant and breakage of
the stop valve cap.
NOTICE
Pay attention that mentioned torque range is applicable for
opening Ø19.1~Ø25.4 mm stop valves only.
To close the stop valve
1
Remove the stop valve cover.

To handle the stop valve cover
▪ The stop valve cover is sealed where indicated by the arrow. Do
NOT damage it.
▪ After handling the stop valve, tighten the stop valve cover
securely, and check for refrigerant leaks. For the tightening
torque, refer to the table below.
To handle the service port
▪ 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, make sure to tighten the service
port cover securely. For the tightening torque, refer to the table
below.
▪ Check for refrigerant leaks after tightening the service port cover.
