1. Safety Precautions
To prevent injury to the user or other people and property damage, the following instructions must be followed. I Incorrect operation due to ignoring instruction will cause harm or damage. The seriousness is classified by the following indications. This symbol indicates the possibility of death or serious injury. This symbol indicates the possibility of injury or damage to properties only. I Meanings of symbols used in this manual are as shown below.
Be sure to disconnect the power cable plug from the plug socket before disassembling the equipment for a repair.Internal components and circuit boards are at main potential when the equipment is connected to the power cables. This high voltage is extremely dangerous and may cause death or severe injury if come in contact with it. Do not touch the discharging refrigerant gas during the repair work. The discharging refrigerant gas.The refrigerant gas can cause frostbite. Release the refrigerant gas completely at a well-ventilated place first. Otherwise, when the pipe is disconnected, refrigerant gas or refrigerating machine oil discharges and it Can cause injury. When the refrigerant gas leaks during work, perform ventilation. If the refrigerant gas comes in contact with a fire, poisonous gas generates. A case of leakage of the refrigerant and the closed room full with gas is dangerous because a shortage of oxygen occurs. Be sure to perform ventilation. When removing the front panel or cabinet, execute short-circuit and discharge between high voltage capacitor terminals. If discharge is not executed, an electric shock is caused by high voltage resulting in a death or injury. Do not turn the air-conditioner ON or OFF by plugging or unplugging the power plug. There is risk of fire or electrical shock.

Check to see if the power cable plug is not dirty or loose. If the plug is dusty or loose it can cause an electrical shock or fire. Do not use a joined power cable or extension cable, or share the same power outlet with other electrical appliances. otherwise, it can cause an electrical shock, excessive heat generation or fire. Do not insert hands or other objects through the air inlet or outlet while the product is operating. There are sharp and moving parts that could cause personal injury. Do not block the inlet or outlet of air flow. It may cause product failure
Check to see if the parts are mounted correctly and wires are connected. Improper installation and connections can cause an electric shock or an injury. Check whether the installation platform or frame has corroded. Corroded installation platform or frame can cause the unit to fall, resulting in injury. Be sure to check whether the earth wire is correctly connected. After the work has finished, be sure to do an insulation test to check whether the resistance is 2[Mohm] or more between the charge section and the non-charge metal section (Earth position). If the resistance value is low, a disaster such as a leak or electric shock is caused at users side. Check the drainage of the indoor unit after the repair. If drainage is faulty the water may enter the room and wet floor.

Procedure
(1) Confirm that both the 2-way and 3-way valves are set to the open position. Remove the valve stem caps and confirm that the valve stems are in the raised position. Be sure to use a hexagonal wrench to operate the valve stems. (2) Operate the unit for 10 to 15 minutes. (3) Stop operation and wait for 3 minutes, then connect the charge set to the service port of the 3-way valve. Connect the charge hose with the push pin to the service port. (4) Air purging of the charge hose. Open the low-pressure valve on the charge set slightly to air purge from the charge hose. (5) Set the 2-way valve to the closed position. (8) Disconnect the charge set, and mount the 2way and 3-way valves 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. (6) Operate the air conditioner at the cooling cycle and stop it when the gauge indicates 1kg/cm2 .g. (7) Immediately set the 3-way valve to the closed position. Do this quickly so that the gauge ends up indicating 3 to 5kg/cm2.g.

Procedure
(1) Connect the charge hose to the charging cylinder. Connect the charge hose which you dis-connected from the vacuum pump to the valve at the bottom of the cylinder. If you are using a gas cylinder, also use a scale and reverse the cylinder so that the system can be charged with liquid. (2) Purge the air from the charge hose. Open the valve at the bottom of the cylinder and press the check valve on the charge set to purge the air. (Be careful of the liquid refrigerant). The procedure is the same if using a gas cylinder. (3) Open the valve (Lo side on the charge set and charge the system with liquid refrigerant. If the system can not be charged with the specified amount of refrigerant, it can be charged with a little at a time (approximately 150g each time) while operating the air conditioner in the cooling cycle; however, one time is not sufficient, wait approximately 1 minute and then repeat the procedure (pumping down-pin). This is different from previous procedures. Because you are charging with liquid refrigerant from the gas side, absolutely do not attempt to charge with larger amounts of liquid refrigerant while operating the air conditioner.
(4) Immediately disconnect the charge hose from the 3-way valves service port. Stopping partway will allow the gas to be discharged. If the system has been charged with liquid refrigerant while operating the air conditioner turn off the air conditioner before disconnecting the hose. (5) 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.
