These units use R-410 A refrigerant which operates at 50 to 7o% higher
pressures than R-22. Use only R-410A approved service equipment. Refrigerant
cylinders are painted a “Rose” color to indicate the type of refrigerant and
may contain a “dip” tube to allow for charging of liquid refrigerant into the
system. All R-410A systems with variable speed compressors use a PVE oil that
readily absorbs moisture from the atmosphere To limit this “hygroscopic”
action. the system should remain sealed whenever possible. If a system has
been open to the atmosphere for more than 4 hours, the compressor oil must be
replaced. Never break a vacuum with air and always change the driers when
opening the system for component replacement.
CAUTION
