–Open the valves on the gas cylinder and the charge set. Purge the air by loosening the flare nut on the liquid side valve approximately 45° for 3 seconds then closing it for 1 minute; repeat 3 times.

–After purging the air, use a torque wrench to tighten the flare nut on liquid side valve.

(4)Check for gas leakage.

–Check the flare connections for gas leakage.

(5)Discharge the refrigerant.

–Close the valve on the gas cylinder and dis- charge the refrigerant until the gauge indicates 3 to 5 kg/cm2g.

(6)Disconnect the charge set and the gas cylin- der, and set the Liquid side and Gas side valves to the open position.

–Be sure to use a hexagonal wrench to operate the valve stems.

(7)Mount the valve stem nuts and the service port nut.

–Use torque wrench to tighten the service port nut to a torque of 1.8 kg.m.

–Be sure to check for gas leakage.
