Installation Manual
Use refrigerant tank to expel air (see
Fig.6-2
and
Fig.6-3
)
Screw up the pipe nuts at A, B, C and D completely.
Loosen and remove the square-head cover and the mainte-
nance orifice nut of valves A and B.
Connect the filler hose of the refrigerant tank with the mainte-
nance orifice of valve A.
Loosen the valve of the refrigerant tank, continue filling refriger-
ant for 6 seconds to expel the air, and tighten the nut of valve B
quickly.
Loosen the valve of the refrigerant tank again, and fill the
refrigerant for 6 seconds. Detect leak for all adapters at A, B, C
and D. After making sure that no leak exists, screw off the filler
hose. After all the filled refrigerant is expelled, screw up the
maintenance orifice nut of valve A quickly.
Open the square-head spools of valves A and B completely.
Tighten the square-head cover of valves A and B.
Use a vacuum pump to expel the air (
Fig.6-4
): (For method of
using the manifold valve, see the operation manual of manifold
valve)
Loosen and remove the maintenance orifice nut of valve A, and
connect the filler hose of the manifold valve to the maintenance
orifice of valve A (tighten both valve A and valve B).
Connect the filler hose adapter to the vacuum pump.
Open the low pressure (Lo) handle of the manifold valve
completely.
Start the vacuum pump to extract air. At the beginning of
extracting air, slightly loosen the maintenance orifice nut of valve
B, check whether any air enters it (the vacuum pump noise

tighten this maintenance orifice nut.
Upon completion of vacuuming, tighten the low pressure (Lo)
handle of the manifold valve completely and stop the vacuum
pump. Keep extracting air for over 15 minutes. Check whether

Loosen and remove the square-head cover of valves A and B.
After opening valves A and B completely, tighten the square-
head cover of valves A and B.
Remove the filler hose off the maintenance orifice of valve A, and
then tighten the nut.

From the following table, select a method of expelling air.
If the air conditioner is relocated, be sure to use a vacuum pump
or refrigerant tank to expel air.
Use the refrigerant in the outdoor unit to expel air(see
Fig.6-
2
and
Fig.6-3
)
Screw up the pipe nuts at A, B, C and D completely.
Loosen and remove the square-head cover of valves A and B,
rotate the square-head spool of valve B counterclockwise for 45

Detect leak for all adapters at A, B, C and D. After making sure
that no leak exists, open the maintenance orifice nut of valve A.
After all air is expelled, tighten the maintenance orifice nut of
valve A.
Open the spools of valves A and B completely.
Tighten the square-head cover of valves A and B completely.
