3. Solder service valves into the pinch-off tube ports, leaving the valves open.

4. Solder the pinch-off tubes with Service valves.

5. Evacuate as follows.

6. Connect the vacuum pump, as illustrated figure 16A.

7. Start the vacuum pump, slowly open manifold valves A and B with two full turns counterclockwise and leave the valves open. The vacuum pump is now pulling through valves A and B up to valve C by means of the manifold and entire system.
   CAUTION
   If high vacuum equipment is used, just crack valves A and B for a few minutes, then open slowly with the two full turns counterclockwise. This will keep oil from foaming and being drawn into the vacuum pump.

8. Operate the vacuum pump for 20 to 30 minutes, until 600 microns of vaccum is obtained. Close valves A and B, and observe vacuum gauge for a few minutes. A rise in pressure would indicate a possible leak or moisture remaining in the system. With valves A and B closed, stop the vacuum pump.

9. Remove the hose from the vacuum pump and place it on the charging cylinder. See figure 16B.
   Open valve C.
   Discharge the line at the manifold connection.

10. The system is now ready for final charging.

11. Recharge as follows :

12. Refrigeration cycle systems are charged from the High-side. If the total charge cannot be put in the High-side, the balance will be put in the suction line through the access valve which you installed as the system was opened.

13. Connect the charging cylinder as shown in figure 16B.
    With valve C open, discharge the hose at the manifold connection.

14. Open valve A and allow the proper charge to enter the system. Valve B is still closed.

15. If more charge is required, the high-side will not take it. Close valve A.

16. With the unit running, open valve B and add the balance of the charge.

    * Do not add the liquid refrigerant to the Low-side.
    * Watch the Low-side gauge; allow pressure to rise to 30 lbs.
    * Turn off valve B and allow pressure to drop.
    * Repeat steps b. and c. until the balance of the charge is in the system.
  6. When satisfied the unit is operating correctly, use the pinch-off tool with the unit still running and clamp on to the pinch-off tube. Using a tube cutter, cut the pinch-off tube about 2 inches from the pinch-off tool. Use sil-fos solder and solder pinch-off tube closed. Turn off the unit, allow it to set for a while, and then test the leakage of the pinch-off connection.

Equipment needed: Vacuum pump, Charging cylinder, Manifold gauge, Brazing equipment. Pin-off tool capable of making a vapor-proof seal, Leak detector, Tubing cutter, Hand Tools to remove components, Service valve.

INSTALLATION

SELECT THE BEST LOCATION

1. To prevent vibration and noise, make sure the unit is installed securely and firmly.

2. Install the unit where the sunlight does not shine directly on the unit.

3. The outside of the cabinet must extend outward for at least 11″ and there should be no obstacles, such as a fence or wall, within 20″ from the back of the cabinet because it will prevent heat radiation of the condenser.
   Restriction of outside air will greatly reduce the cooling efficiency of the air conditioner.
   CAUTION
   All side louvers of the cabinet must remain exposed to the outside of the structure.

4. Install the unit a little slanted so the back is slightly lower than the front (about 1/2″). This will help force condensed water to the outside.

5. Install the unit from the bottom about 30″~60″ above the floor level.

CHECK OF INSTALLATION
The setting conditions must be checked prior to initial starting.
The undermentioned items are especially important checking points when the installation is finished.

1. Grounding wire (Green or Green and Yellow) is provided in the power cord. The green wire must be grounded.
2. Connect to a single-outlet 15A circuit.
3. To avoid vibration or noise, make sure the air conditioner is installed securely.
4. Avoid placing furniture or draperies in front of the air inlet and outlet.

HOW TO DRAIN (When using drain pipe)
The air conditioner must be installed horizontally or tilted slightly to the outside for proper water drainage.
On exceptionally hot and humid days the air conditioner may overflow condensed water.
If the air conditioner is used in a hot and high humidity zone, exchange the ① HOLE RUBBER for the ② DRAIN PIPE.(See figure 18, figure 19.)
