CAUTION

Seal the hoses completely, otherwise the compressor oil 
and receiver will absorb water vapor easily, possibly dam-
aging the compressor and deteriorating performance.
Plug the disconnected hose, pipe, condenser, compressor and 
heater unit nipple to prevent foreign matter from getting into 
them.
