Mount the piping cover in order to avoid water entering into the unit. Seal the holes where pipes and wires are inserted, by using
a insulation (field-supplied).
3
If the field-supplied piping is connected with stop valves directly, it is recommended use a tube bender.
4
Check to ensure that the stop valves are closed completely before connecting pipes.
5
Connect the field supplied refrigerant pipes to the indoor unit and outdoor unit. Apply the oil thinly at the seat flare nut and pipe
before tightening.
6
After connecting the refrigerant piping, seal the open space between knockout hole and refrigerant pipes by using insulation
material.

• At the test run, fully open the spindle and ball stop valve.
• If not fully opened, the devices will be damaged.
• Do not attempt to turn service valve rod beyond its stop.
• Do not loosen the stop ring. If the stop ring is loosened, it is dangerous since the spindle will hop out.
• An excess or a shortage of refrigerant is the main cause of trouble to the units. Charge the correct refrigerant quantity according to the description
of label at the inside of service cover.
•
Check for refrigerant leakage in detail. If a large refrigerant leakage occurs, it will cause difficulty with breathing or harmful gases would occur if a
fire was being used in the room.
