- Do not operate compressor with insufficient refrigerant in refrigerant system
If there is not enough refrigerant in the refrigerant system, oil lubrication will be insufficient and compressor burnout may occur. Necessary care should be taken to avoid this.

Open and close only the low pressure valve. Opening and closing the high pressure valve could cause the charging cylinder to rupture.
- Be careful not to overcharge system with refrigerant
If the refrigerant is overcharged, it causes problems such as insufficient cooling, poor fuel economy and engine overheating.
