1. SERVICE FOR REFRIGERANT LINES
[a] SERVICE INFORMATION
WARNING
1. Repairs requiring the refrigeration circuit to be opened must be
performed by properly trained and EPA-certifi ed service personnel.
2. Always recover the refrigerant and store it in an approved container. Do
not discharge the refrigerant into the atmosphere.
3. Use an electronic leak detector or soap bubbles to check for leaks. Add
a trace of refrigerant to the system (if using an electronic leak detector),
and then raise the pressure using nitrogen gas (140 PSIG). DO NOT
use R-404A as a mixture with pressurized air for leak testing.
CAUTION
1. Do not leave the system open for longer than 15 minutes when replacing
or servicing parts. The Polyol Ester (POE) oils used in R-404A units can
absorb moisture quickly. Therefore it is important to prevent moisture
from entering the system when replacing or servicing parts.
2. Always install a new drier every time the sealed refrigeration system is
opened.
