f Adding the heating refrigerant
f
1) When recharging the heating refrigerant, connect the low pressure pipe from manifold gage to the suction charging
port .
2) Press the function key for adding refrigerant in heating mode .
3) After 20 minutes of operation, open the valve on suction charge port .
4) Open the valve for low pressure side on the manifold gage to recharge the remaining refrigerant .
• Open the gas side and liquid side service valve completely after charging the refrigerant . (If you operate the Air
to Water Heat Pump with the service valve closed, the important parts may be damaged . )
CAUTION
To close the valve stem
1 . Open the cap and turn the valve stem clockwise by using a hexagonal wrench .

2 . Tighten the valve stem until it reached the sealing edge .
• Do not apply excessive force to the valve stem and always use special instruments . Otherwise, the contact
surface between valve stem and sealing edge can be damaged and refrigerant can leak through this damaged

surface .
• If refrigerant would leak, turn the valve stem back by half and tighten the valve stem again, then check the
leakage . If there is no leakage any more, tighten the valve stem entirely .
