Itcan be skipped, but charging will take longer then.Pre-charging refrigerant1 Calculate the additional amount of refrigerant to be added usingthe formula mentioned in "16.3 To determine the additionalrefrigerant amount" [437].Note: The first 10 kg of additional refrigerant can be pre-chargedwithout outdoor unit operation.Note: Pre-charging can be done without compressor operationPrerequisite: Make sure that all outdoor unit stop valves andmanifold valve A are closed. Disconnect the manifold from the gaslines.2 Connect the manifold valve B to the service port of the liquidstop valve.3 Pre‑charge refrigerant until the determined additional refrigerantamount is reached or pre‑charging is not possible anymore.
