To Open and Close Bali-Type Service Valve:
A valve stem cap protects the valve stem from
contamination and assures a leak-free seal,
1, Remove stem cap with a wrench,
2, Use an adjustable wrench to open, To open valve,
rotate stem counterclockwise 90°, To close rotate
stem clockwise 90°.
3, Replace the stem cap and tighten as follows:
• With Torque Wrench: Finger tighten and then
tighten per table 1 on page 2.
• Without Torque Wrench: Finger tighten and use an
appropriately sized wrench to turn an additional
1/12 turn clockwise as illustrated in figure 1.
NOTE -A label with specific torque requirements may be
affixed to the stem cap. If the label is present, use the

Remove existing HCFC-22 refrigerant using one of the
following methods:
METHOD 1:
If the existing outdoor unit is not equipped with shut-off
valves, or if the unit is not operational and you plan to use
the existing HCFC-22 or refrigerant to flush the system:
1, Disconnect all power to the existing outdoor unit,
2, Connect to the existing unit a gauge set, clean
recovery cylinder and a recovery machine. Use the
instructions provided with the recover machine on how
to setup the connections,
3, Remove all HCFC-22 refrigerant from the existing
system, Check gauges after shutdown to confirm that
the entire system is completely void of refrigerant,
4, Disconnect the liquid and vapor lines from the existing
