[7] Collecting the Cooling Liquid from the Accumulator (Only P168-P234 types)
1) Perform evacuation inside the recovery cylinder.
2) Connect the check joint for collecting liquid that is derived from the accumulator and the recovery cylinder with a
connection pipe (or hose that has predetermined withstand pressure).
Note: When the check joint and the connecting pipe (hose) are connected, extremely low-temperature oil may
flow out. Use some protective clothing, such as leather gloves.
3) Open the valves of the recovery cylinder while the recovery cylinder is being weighed, and collect the liquid inside
the accumulator into the cylinder.
Note: Allow some capacity when collecting the refrigerant so that the recovery cylinder will not overflow. Use
several cylinders when collecting large amount of refrigerant.
4) After collecting the refrigerant, close the valve of the recovery cylinder, and remove the connecting pipe (hose).
Note: When the check joint and the connecting pipe (hose) are connected, extremely low-temperature oil may
flow out. Use some protective equipment, such as leather gloves.
5) Charge 3-liter oil from the check joint on the accumulator during evacuation.
