1.3 Outdoor Fans / Fan Motors
Warning Be sure to wait for 10 minutes or more after turning off all power supplies before
disassembling work.
Step Procedure Points
1 Remove the nuts and
remove the outdoor
fans.
Nut size : M8
When reassembling, align
the mark of the outdoor
fan with the D-cut section of
the motor shaft.
2 Cut the clamp. Pull out the connector while
supporting the fan motor and
pushing the engaging hook,
without pulling its lead wires.
When reassembling, put the
fan motor lead wire through
the back of the fan motor (so
as not to be entangled with
the outdoor fan).
Be sure to remove the lower
screws first. If the upper
screws are removed first, the
fan motor, the center of
gravity of which is toward the
front, may tilt down or fall,
getting you injured.
3 Remove the 4 screws
and remove the fan

1.5 Electronic Expansion Valves / Peripheral Equipments
Warning Be sure to wait for 10 minutes or more after turning off all power supplies before
disassembling work.
Be careful not to get yourself burnt with the pipes and other parts that are heated by
the gas brazing machine.
If the refrigerant gas leaks during work, ventilate the room. (If the refrigerant gas is
exposed to flames, toxic gas may be generated.)
Caution From the viewpoint of global environment protection, do not discharge the refrigerant
gas in the atmosphere. Make sure to collect all the refrigerant gas.
Cautions for restoration
1. Restore the piping by non-oxidation brazing.
2. It is required to prevent the carbonization of the oil inside the four way valve and the
deterioration of the gaskets affected by heat. (Keep below 120°C (248°F).) For the sake of
this, wrap the four way valve with wet cloth and provide water so that the cloth does not
dry.
Note Before working, make sure that the refrigerant gas is empty in the circuit.
Be sure to apply nitrogen replacement when heating up the brazed part.
Do not use a metal saw for cutting pipes by all means because the sawdust comes into
the circuit.
When withdrawing the pipes, be careful not to pinch them firmly with pliers. The pipes
may get deformed.
Provide a protective sheet or a steel plate so that the brazing flame cannot influence
peripheries.
Be careful so as not to burn the compressor terminals, the name plate, the outdoor
heat exchanger fin.
In case of difficulty with gas brazing machine
1. Disconnect the brazed part where is easy to disconnect and restore.
2. Cut pipes on the main unit with a tube cutter in order to make it easy to disconnect.
Step Procedure Points
1 Pull out the 2 electronic
expansion valve coils.
2 Remove the 2 pressure
sensors.

If the refrigerant gas leaks during work, ventilate the room. (If the refrigerant gas is
exposed to flames, toxic gas may be generated.)
Since it may happen that the refrigerant oil in the compressor catches fire, prepare wet
cloth so as to extinguish fire immediately.
