9-3. Pump down
WARNING
• Never touch electrical components such as the terminal blocks except the button on the display
board. It may cause a serious accident such as electric shock.
• During the pump-down operation, make sure that the compressor is turned off before you re-
move the refrigerant piping.
Do not remove the connection pipe while the compressor is in operation with 2-way or g. 3-way
valve open. This may cause abnormal pressure in the refrigeration cycle that leads to breakage
and even injury.
CAUTION
• Perform the pump down operation before disconnecting any refrigerant pipe or electric cable.
• Collect refrigerant from the service port or the 3-way valve if pump down cannot be performed.
• In case of a group control system installation, do not turn the power off until pump down is com-
pleted in all outdoor units.
(Group control system installation described in “SPECIAL INSTALLATION METHODS” in the in-
stallation manual of the indoor unit.)
