FIRST OPERATION
Unlock load cells (Remove the protection materials for transportation, in equipment side
you can find same sticker).
Fill equipment with refrigerant (New equipment is empty, you need to fill the equipment
with refrigerant and refrigeration oil)

2. Open external tank valve. Run recovery.
1.Connect equipment either CHARGE or
SUCTION port to an external tank with
refrigerant, block other port of the equipment.
You can also put the external upside down.
3. When total refrigerant in equipment reaches
2-9KG, close the external tank valve, wait for the
equipment to stop recovering automatically.
