Remove the cap, pull the handle toward you and rotate 1/4 turn in a counterclock-
wise direction to open.
2
Make sure that the stop valve is open completely, push in the handle and rotate
the cap back to its original position.
(2) Liquid side of A24-A42 and Gas/Liquid side of A12, A18 (Fig. 4-6)
1
Remove the cap and turn the valve rod counterclockwise as far as it will go with
the use of a 4 mm hexagonal wrench. Stop turning when it hits the stopper.

R410A refrigerant according to the permitted pipe lengths in the chart below.
* When the unit is stopped, charge the unit with the additional refrigerant through
the liquid stop valve after the pipe extensions and indoor unit have been vacu-
umized.
When the unit is operating, add refrigerant to the gas check valve using a safety
charger. Do not add liquid refrigerant directly to the check valve.
* After charging the unit with refrigerant, note the added refrigerant amount on the
service label (attached to the unit).
Refer to the “1.5. Using R410A refrigerant air conditioners” for more information.
