1. |
Press the snap-on coupling onto the service connection.

Turn the knob clockwise to open the valve and let the refrigerant pass through the connection.

To remove the snap-on coupling, first turn the knob (2) anti-clockwise to close the valve. Then remove the snap-on coupling by pressing the spring-loaded catch (3), so that the locking sleeve (4) can be pulled up.
When the catch is pressed in, you will hear a hiss as the catch also serves to evacuate any refrigerant that is trapped in the snap-on coupling. The connections on the low-pressure and high-pressure sides are different to eliminate the risk of confusion.
