■ CAUTION ■
  • Replace O‐rings with new ones. Then apply compressor oil to them when installing.
  • Female‐side piping connection is thin and easy to deform. Slowly insert the male‐side piping straight in axial direction.
  • Insert piping securely until a click is heard.
  • After piping connection is completed, pull male‐side piping by hand to make sure that connection does not come loose.
  • Check for leakages when recharging refrigerant.
