When the refrigerant gas leaks, find up the leaked position and repair it surely.
If the leaked position cannot be found up and the repair work isinterrupted, pump-down and tighten the
service valve, otherwise the refrigerant gas may leak into the room.
When gas touchesto fire such as fan heater, stove or cocking stove, it may generate noxious gases,
causing afire though the refrigerant gas itself isinnocuous.
When installing equipment which includesalarge amount of charged refrigerant such as amulti air
conditioner in asub-room, it isnecessary that the density doesnot the limit even if the refrigerant leaks.
If the refrigerant leaksand exceedsthe limit density, an accident of shortage of oxygen iscaused.

Tighten the flare nut with atorque wrench in the specified manner.
Excessive tighten of the flare nut may cause acrack in the flare nut after along period, which may result in
refrigerant leakage.
Nitrogen gas must be used for the airtight test.
The charge hose must be connected in such away that it isnot slack.
For the installation/moving/reinstallation work, follow to the Installation Manual.
If an incorrect installation isdone, atrouble of the refrigerating cycle, water leak, electric shock or fire iscaused.
Install the outdoor unit properly in alocation that isdurable enough to support the weight of the outdoor unit.
Insufficient durability may cause the outdoor unit to fall, which may result in injury.
After repair work has finished, check there isno trouble. If check isnot executed, afire, electric shock or
injury may be caused. For acheck, turn off the power breaker.
After repair work (installation of front panel and cabinet) has finished, execute atest run to check there isno
generation of smoke or abnormal sound. If check isnot executed, afire or an electric shock iscaused.
Before test run, install the front panel and cabinet.
Check the following itemsafter reinstallation.
1) The earth wire iscorrectly connected.
2) The power cord isnot caught in the product.
3) There isno inclination or unsteadiness and the installation isstable.
If check isnot executed, afire, an electric shock or an injury iscaused.
When the service panel of the outdoor unit isto be opened in order for the fan motor, reactor, inverter or the
areas around these partsto be repaired immediately after the air conditioner has been shut down, set the
circuit breaker to the OFF position, and then wait at least 10 minutesbefore opening the service panel.
If youfail to heed thiswarning, youwill run the risk of burning yourself because the fan motor, reactor,
inverter heat sink and other partswill be very hot to the touch.
In addition, before proceeding with the repair work, wear the kind of insulated heat-resistant gloves
designed to protect electricians.
Be sure to fix the screwsback which have been removed for installation or other purposes.
Once the repair work has been completed, check for refrigerant leaks, and check the insulation resistance
and water drainage. Then perform atrial run to check that the air conditioner isrunning properly.
Check the following mattersbefore atest run after repairing piping.
• Connect the pipessurely and there isno leak of refrigerant.
• The valve isopened.
Running the compressor under condition that the valve closescausesan abnormal high pressure resulted
in damage of the partsof the compressor and etc. and moreover if there isleak of refrigerant at connecting
section of pipes, the air issuctioned and causesfurther abnormal high pressure resulted in burst or injury.
Only aqualified installer (
∗
1) or qualified service person (
∗
1) isallowed to relocate the air conditioner.
It isdangerous for the air conditioner to be relocated by an unqualified individual since afire, electric shocks,
injury, water leakage, noise and/or vibration may result.
When the service panel of the outdoor unit isto be opened in order for the compressor or the areaaround
thispart to be repaired immediately after the air conditioner has been shut down, set the circuit breaker to
the OFF position, and then wait at least 10 minutesbefore opening the service panel. If youfail to heed this
warning, youwill run the risk of burning yourself because the compressor pipesand other partswill be very
hot to the touch. In addition, before proceeding with the repair work, wear the kind of insulated heat-
resistant glovesdesigned to protect electricians.
Cooling
Take care not to get burned by compressor pipesor other partswhen checking the cooling cycle while
running the unit as they get heated while running. Be sure to put on glovesproviding protection for heat.
