Tools
R410A work requires a number of special tools (* symbol). Since the tools used in R22 work
cannot be used for R410A, provide the tools separately.

Work precautions
Refrigerant check:
Before work, check the used refrigerant and prepare materials matched to the
refrigerant.
Refrigerant piping:
Observe the basics of refrigerant piping to avoid the unnecessary problems. In
addition, when performing the welding work, seal in the nitrogen gas to the pipes, and prevent it
from the oxidation.
Leak pressure detection:
Perform seal detection and make sure there is no refrigerant leakage.
Vacuum drying:
If the vacuum pump has not the reverse flow check mechanism, use the pump
together with a reverse flow check adapter.
Additional refrigerant:
Charge a suitable amount of refrigerant with a special R410A gauge
manifold and charging hose.
