1SAFETY PRECAUTION
Cautions for units utilizing refrigerant R407C
CAUTIONS RELATED TO NEW REFRIGERANT
Do not use the existing refrigerant piping.
The old refrigerant and lubricant in the existing piping
contains a large amount of chlorine which may cause the
lubricant deterioration of the new unit.
Use “low residual oil piping”
If there is a large amount of residual oil (hydraulic oil, etc.)
inside the piping and joints, deterioration of the lubricant
will result.
Use liquid refrigerant to seal the system.
If gas refrigerant is used to seal the system, the composition
of the refrigerant in the cylinder will change and performance
may drop.
Do not use a refrigerant other than R407C.
If another refrigerant (R22, etc.) is used, the chlorine in the
refrigerant may cause the lubricant deterioration.
Use a vacuum pump with a reverse flow check valve.
The vacuum pump oil may flow back into the refrigerant
cycle and cause the lubricant deterioration.
Use ESTR , ETHER or HAB as the lubricant to
coat flares and flange connection parts.
If large amount of mineral oil enter, that can cause
deterioration of refrigerant oil etc.
Ventilate the room if refrigerant leaks during
operation. If refrigerant comes into contact with
a flame, poisonous gases will be released.
Store the piping indoors, and both ends of the
piping sealed until just before brazing.
(Leave elbow joints, etc. in their packaging.)
If dirt, dust or moisture enters into refrigerant cycle, that
can cause deterioration of refrigerant oil or malfunction of
compressor.
Never use any refrigerant other than that specified.
Doing so may cause a burst, an explosion, or fire when the
unit is being used, serviced, or disposed of.
Correct refrigerant is specified in the manuals and on the
spec labels provided with our products.
We will not be held responsible for mechanical failure,
system malfunction, unit breakdown or accidents caused
by failure to follow the instructions.
Use the specified refrigerant only.

[2] Refrigerant recharging
(1) Refrigerant recharging process
1Direct charging from the cylinder.
· R407C cylinder are available on the market has a syphon pipe.
· Leave the syphon pipe cylinder standing and recharge it.
(By liquid refrigerant)
(2) Recharge in refrigerant leakage case
· After recovering the all refrigerant in the unit, proceed to working.
· Do not release the refrigerant in the air.
· After completing the repair service, recharge the cycle with the specified amount of liquid refrigerant.
[1] Cautions for service
· After recovering the all refrigerant in the unit, proceed to working.
· Do not release refrigerant in the air.
· After completing the repair service, recharge the cycle with the specified amount of iquid refrigerant.

Cautions for units utilizing refrigerant R410A
Charge refrigerant from liquid phase of gas
cylinder.
If the refrigerant is charged from gas phase, composition
change may occur in refrigerant and the efficiency will be
lowered.
Do not use refrigerant other than R410A.
If other refrigerant (R22 etc.) is used, chlorine in refrige-
rant can cause deterioration of refrigerant oil etc.
Use a vacuum pump with a reverse flow check
valve.
Vacuum pump oil may flow back into refrigerant cycle and
that can cause deterioration of refrigerant oil etc.
Use the following tools specifically designed for
use with R410A refrigerant.
The following tools are necessary to use R410A refrigerant.
Handle tools with care.
If dirt, dust or moisture enter into refrigerant cycle, that can
cause deterioration of refrigerant oil or malfunction of com-
pressor.
Do not use a charging cylinder.
If a charging cylinder is used, the composition of refrigera-
nt will change and the efficiency will be lowered.

Tools for R410A
Do not use the existing refrigerant piping.
The old refrigerant and lubricant in the existing piping
contains a large amount of chlorine which may cause the
lubricant deterioration of the new unit.
Use “low residual oil piping”
If there is a large amount of residual oil (hydraulic oil, etc.)
inside the piping and joints, deterioration of the lubricant
will result.
The refrigerant oil applied to flare and flange
connections must be ester oil, ether oil or
alkylbenzene oil in a small amount.
If large amount of mineral oil enters, that can cause deterio-
ration of refrigerant oil etc.
Store the piping indoors, and both ends of the
piping sealed until just before brazing.
(Leave elbow joints, etc. in their packaging.)
If dirt, dust or moisture enters into refrigerant cycle, that
can cause deterioration of refrigerant oil or malfunction of
compressor.
Ventilate the room if refrigerant leaks during
operation. If refrigerant comes into contact with
a flame, poisonous gases will be released.
Never use any refrigerant other than that specified.
Doing so may cause a burst, an explosion, or fire when the
unit is being used, serviced, or disposed of.
Correct refrigerant is specified in the manuals and on the
spec labels provided with our products.
We will not be held responsible for mechanical failure,
system malfunction, unit breakdown or accidents caused
by failure to follow the instructions.
Use the specified refrigerant only.

[1] Cautions for service
(1) Perform service after collecting the refrigerant left in unit completely.
(2) Do not release refrigerant in the air.
(3) After completing service, charge the cycle with specified amount of refrigerant.
(4) When performing service, install a filter drier simultaneously.
Be sure to use a filter drier for new refrigerant.
[2] Additional refrigerant charge
When charging directly from cylinder
· Check that cylinder for R410A on the market is syphon type.
· Charging should be performed with the cylinder of syphon stood vertically. (Refrigerant is charged from liquid phase.)
