Precautions for refrigerant piping
Do not twist or crush piping.
Be sure that no dust is mixed in piping.
Bend piping with as wide angle as possible.
Keep insulating both gas and liquid piping.

Note: When additional refrigerant piping is necessary, first purge air out of connecting pipe by external gas, then drive out the excessive refrigerant by purging method.
Brand new unit is charged 80g more refrigerant than spec. This is only for first installation to purgeair in the indoor unit and connecting pipe.
b. For
Carry out the air purge of the indoor unit and refrigerant piping by vacuuming.
Procedures:
1)Tighten all the flare nuts of the piping on the side of indoor and outdoor units so that there is no leakage.
2)Carry out vacuuming from the service valve charge port with the service valves (both liquid and gas side) of the outdoor unit fully closed.
3)After vacuuming, remove the cap nut for the valve stem, and tighten the cap nuts (cap nuts for valve stem and charge port) with service valve (both liquid and gas) fully opened.
(5)Method of opening and closing service valve of outdoor unit
1)Remove the hexagonal cap nut.
2)Operate the valve using a hexagonal wrench to open by left turn and to close by right turn.
3)Tighten the hexagonal cap nut after the piping works.
