Put a couple drops of refrigerant oil on the face
of the flare before assembling taking care not to
add any contaminants.

Align the center of the pipings and sufficiently

• The drain hose can be connected at two different

positions. Use the most convenient position and, if
necessary, exchange the position of the drain pan,
rubber cap and the drain hose.

Exchange if necessary

• Remove the drain hose.
• Securely insert both the rubber plug and drain

hose into the drain outlets.
Be sure the rubber the cap is securely fastened so
that there is no leakage.

Finally, tighten the flare nut with torque wrench
until the wrench clicks.
