WARNING
Many of the chemicals used while soldering are toxic. Avoid prolonged exposure to
fumes. Wear rubber gloves and eye protection. Failure to wear proper protective
clothing may result in skin irritation and/or serious eye injury. Wash hands with soap
and water after handling solder. If inhaled, move soldier to fresh air and seek medical
attention. If contact with skin or eyes is made, flush with clean water and seek
medical attention. Failure to observe this warning may result in serious injury to
personnel.
CAUTION
Use care when soldering and desoldering components into the system so as not to
overheat the component being soldered, or surrounding components. Wrapping the
component to be soldered in wet rags will act as a heat sink and minimize exposure
to heat. Make sure all wiring is clear of solder and desolder areas.
11. Solder one side of coupling to tube (Figure 2, Item 5) at location of cut (Figure 2, Item 6).

14. Solder tube (Figure 2, Item 6) to existing tube (Figure 2, Item 5) using previously installed coupling at location
where old valve and tube assembly was cut from unit.
CAUTION
The discharge tube can kink or be easily bent if not careful. Use care when installing
discharge service valve so that tube is not bent or otherwise damaged during
installation.
15. Torque two bolts (Figure 2, Item 1) and two washers (Figure 2, Item 2) securing discharge service valve
(Figure 2, Item 3) to compressor (Figure 2, Item 4) to 20 to 30 foot-pounds.
16. Apply lock tight to elbow fitting (Figure 2, Item 8).
