Bend the tubing in proper way. Do not harm to them.
Connect the indoor unit at first, then the outdoor
unit.
Too large torque will harm the bellmouthing and too small
will cause leakage. Please determine the torque
according to Table 8-2.
After the connecting work is finished, be sure to check
that there is no gas leak.
The bending angle should not exceed 90.
Bending position is preferably in the middle of the
bendable pipe. The larger the bending radius the better it
is.
Do not bend the pipe more than three times.
When connecting the flare nut, coat the flare both inside
and outside with either oil or ester oil and initially tighten
by hand 3 or 4 turns before tighting firmly.
Be sure to use both a spanner and torque wrench
together when connecting or disconnecting pipes to /from
the unit.

Remove the cap and turn the valve
counterclock-wise with the hexagon wrench.
Turn it until the shaft stops.Do not apply excessive force
to the stop valve. Doing so may breakthe valve body, as
the valve is not a backseat type. Always use the special
tool.
Make sure to tighten the cap securely.
Remove the cap and turn the valve clockwise with the
hexagon wrench.
Securely tighten the valve until the shaft contacts the
main bodyseal.

Loosen and remove the maintenance nuts of stop valves A
and B, and connect the charge hose of the manifold valve to
the service port of stop valve A. (Be sure that stop valves A
and B are both closed)
Connect the joint of the charge hose with the vacuum pump.
Open the Lo-lever of the manifold value completely.
Turn on the vacuum pump. At the beginning of pumping,
loosen the maintenance nut of stop valve B a little to check
whether the air comes in (the sound of the pump changes,
and the indicator of compound meter turns below zero). Then
fasten the maintenace nut.
