▪ Keep both stop valves open during operation.
▪ Do NOT apply excessive force to the valve stem. Doing so may break the valve
body.
▪ ALWAYS make sure to secure the stop valve with a spanner, then loosen or
tighten the flare nut with a torque wrench. Do NOT place the spanner on the
stem cap, as this could cause a refrigerant leak.
