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 remove the refrigerant piping.
Do not remove the connection pipe while the compressor is in operation with 2-way or
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 pump down is
completed in all outdoor units.
(Group control system installation described in SPECIAL INSTALLATION METHODS”
in the installation manual of the indoor unit.)
• Operate [PUMPDOWN] button on the display board in the manner described
below.
