● Do not apply excessive force to the are
nut when tightening. Excessive force can
result in the are nut cracking and refrigerant
leakage may occur. Use the specied
tightening torque.
● For more details of the refrigerant piping
work, vacuum pumping and refrigerant
charge, refer to the Technical Manual for the
