1. Connect the charge hose end described in
the preceding steps to the vacuum pump to
evacuate the tubing and indoor unit.
Confirm the "Lo" knob of the manifold valve is
open. Then, run the vacuum pump.
The operation time for evacuation varies with
tubing length and capacity of the pump.
[Each Room] The vacuum pump must be
operated less than 0.8torr of the gage
pressure.
2. When the desired vacuum is reached, close
the "Lo" knob of the manifold valve and stop
the vacuum pump.
Finishing the job
1. With a service valve wrench, turn the valve
stem of liquid side valve counter-clockwise to
fully open the valve.
2.Turn the valve stem of gas side valve
counter-clockwise to fully open the valve.
3. Loosen the charge hose connected to the
gas side service port slightly to release the
pressure, then remove the hose.
4. Replace the flare nut and its bonnet on the
gas side service port and fasten the flare nut
securely with an adjustable wrench. This
process is very important to prevent leakage
from the system.
