Next, follow the instructions in “4-2-1. Cooling operation (for all units)” at the outdoor unit where oil will be charged,
and start cooling operation at all units. After the operating conditions were stabilized, open each valve (Hi-side
When this is done, the refrigerant pressure from operation forces the oil out of the oil charge tank, and oil is charged
into the outdoor unit from the low-pressure outlet port. Occasionally close the upper valve on the top of the oil charge
tank (only this valve) and shake the tank to check the amount of remaining oil.

NOTE
To determine the completion of refrigerant recovery, follow the instructions that came with the refrigerant recovery unit.
Completing oil-charging
To terminate the oil charging work, do as follows:
To end the charge process, first close the valve on the Hi-side manifold gauge. Then wait approximately 60
seconds in order to vaporize the refrigerant in the charge tank. Then fully close the lower valve.
Refrigerant recovery (oil-charging tank inside)
Finally, connect the refrigerant recovery unit to the Lo-side manifold gauge, shut down all indoor and outdoor units,
and then recover the remaining refrigerant in the oil-charging tank. Perform these procedures quickly and securely
so that no air can enter them. Then, charge the necessary amount of new refrigerant by referring to the “Installation
Instructions” that came with the outdoor unit.
