2.11 Additional Refrigerant Charge and Check Operation
The outdoor unit is charged with refrigerant when shipped from the factory, but depending on
the size and length of the piping when installed, it may require additional charging.
For charging the additional refrigerant, follow the procedure in this chapter.
And then carry out the check operation.
2.11.1 Before working
[About the refrigerant tank]
Check whether the tank has a siphon pipe before charging and place the tank so that the
refrigerant is charged in liquid form. (See the figure below.)

[Shutoff valve operation procedure]
When operating the shutoff valve, follow the procedure instructed below.
Note:
! Do not open the shutoff valve until "2-10 Checking of Device and Installation Conditions" are
! Be sure to use the correct tools.
! When using a service port, use the charge hose.
! After tightening the cap, make sure no refrigerant gas is leaking.

refrigerant to buildup in the compressor, leading insulation degradation.
The shutoff valve is not a back-seat type. If forced it to open, it might break the valve body.
