8) If necessary, add any remaining charge to the system through the low-side. Use a
throttling valve or liquid dispensing device to add the remaining liquid charge through
the low-side access port with the unit running.
9) Close the two refrigerant access valves, and disconnect the service manifold hoses.
10) Cap the access valves to prevent a possible leak.

WARNING
1. Refrigerant R-404A itself is not flammable at atmospheric pressure and
temperatures up to 176°F.
2. Refrigerant R-404A itself is not explosive or poisonous. However, when
exposed to high temperatures (open flames) R-404A can be decomposed to
form hydrofluoric acid and carbonyl fluoride both of which are hazardous.
3. Always recover the refrigerant and store it in an approved container. Do not
discharge the refrigerant into the atmosphere.
4. Do not use silver alloy or copper alloy containing arsenic.
5. Do not use R-404A as a mixture with pressurized air for leak testing.
Refrigerant leaks can be detected by charging the unit with a little refrigerant,
raising the pressure with nitrogen and using an electronic leak detector.
Note: All brazing connections are clear-paint coated. Use sandpaper to remove the
coating from the brazing connections before unbrazing the components.
