5.3.1 Using the stop valve and service port
To handle the stop valve
▪ Make sure to keep all stop valves open during operation.
▪ The stop valve is factory closed.
To open the stop valve
1 Remove the stop valve cover.
2 Insert a hexagon wrench into the stop valve and turn the stop
valve counterclockwise.
3 When the stop valve cannot be turned any further, stop turning.
Result: The valve is now open.
To fully open the Ø19.1 mm~Ø25.4 mm stop valve, turn the
hexagonal wrench until a torque between 27 and 33 N•m is
achieved.
Inadequate torque may cause leakage of refrigerant and breakage of
the stop valve cap.
NOTICE
Pay attention that mentioned torque range is applicable for
opening Ø19.1~Ø25.4mm stop valves only.
To close the stop valve
1 Remove the stop valve cover.
2 Insert a hexagon wrench into the stop valve and turn the stop
valve clockwise.
3 When the stop valve cannot be turned any further, stop turning.
Result: The valve is now closed.

To handle the stop valve cover
▪ The stop valve cover is sealed where indicated by the arrow. Take
care not to damage it.
▪ After handling the stop valve, make sure to tighten the stop valve
cover securely. For the tightening torque, refer to the table below.
▪ Check for refrigerant leaks after tightening the stop valve cover.
To handle the service port
▪ Always use a charge hose equipped with a valve depressor pin,
since the service port is a Schrader type valve.
▪ After handling the service port, make sure to tighten the service
port cover securely. For the tightening torque, refer to the table
below.
▪ Check for refrigerant leaks after tightening the service port cover.
