Charging Additional Refrigerant
Finishing the Job
(1) With a hex wrench, turn the liquid tube service valve stem counterclockwise to fully open the valve.
(5) Replace the valve caps at both gas and liquid service valves and fasten them securely.
(2) Turn the gas tube service valve stem counterclockwise to fully open the valve.
(3) Loosen the charge hose connected to the gas tube service port (7.94 mm) slightly to release the pressure,
and then remove the hose.
(4) Replace the 7.94 mm flare nut and its bonnet on the gas tube service port and fasten the flare nut securely with
an adjustable wrench or box wrench.
This process is very important to prevent gas from leaking from the system.
* If an additional refrigerant charge has been performed, list the refrigerant tubing length and amount of additional
refrigerant charge on the product label (inside the panel).
CAUTION
To avoid gas from leaking when removing the charge hose, make sure the stem of the gas tube is turned
all the way out (āBACK SEATā) position.
Charging additional refrigerant (calculated from the liquid tube length as shown in āAmount of additional
refrigerant chargeā) using the liquid tube service valve.
Use a balance to measure the refrigerant accurately.
If the additional refrigerant charge amount cannot be charged at once, charge the remaining refrigerant in liquid
form by using the gas tube service valve with the system in Cooling mode at the time of test run.
