• At the test run, fully open the spindle and ball stop valve.
• If not fully opened, the devices will be damaged.
• Do not attempt to turn service valve rod beyond its stop.
• Do not loosen the stop ring. If the stop ring is loosened, it is dangerous
since the spindle will hop out.
• An excess or a shortage of refrigerant is the main cause of trouble
to the units. Charge the correct refrigerant quantity according to the
description of label at the inside of service cover.
• Deeply check for refrigerant leak. If a refrigerant leak occurs, it may
cause risk of deflagration if any flame or spark is produced close to
the unit. Harmful gases or difficulties for breathing may occur in case
of leak.
