INSTALLATION
Installation is basically the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:

Replace O-rings of high-pressure flexible hose with new ones, and then apply compressor oil to it
when installing it.

Female-side piping connection is thin and easy to deform. Slowly insert the male-side piping
straight in axial direction.

Insert piping securely until a click is heard.

After piping connection is completed, pull male-side piping by hand to make sure that connection
does not come loose.

When recharging refrigerant, check for leaks.
