PUMP DOWN OPERATION
WARNING

  • Make sure that air or any matter other than refrigerant (R32) does not get into the refrigeration cycle.
  • When performing a pump down, turn off the compressor before detaching the refrigerant pipes. (If the refrigerant pipes are detached when the compressor is operating and the stop valves are open, air will be drawn in leading to abnormally high pressure in the refrigeration cycle. This may result in rupturing and bodily injury.)

In order to protect the environment, be sure to pump down when relocating or disposing of the unit.

  1. Remove the valve cap from the liquid stop valve and gas stop valve.
  2. Begin forced cooling operation.
  3. After 5 to 10 minutes, close the liquid stop valve with a hexagonal wrench.
  4. After 2 to 3 minutes, close the gas stop valve and stop forced cooling operation.
  5. Attach the valve cap once procedures are complete.
