= {( Lx × 0.017 lbs/ft ) + ( Ly × 0.038 lbs/ft )} × 1.2 + ( 1.76 lbs )
= {( 39.3 × 0.017 lbs ) + ( 91.8 × 0.038 lbs )} × 1.2 + ( 1.76 lbs )
= 6.75 lbs

Charging of refrigerant
• Keep the outdoor unit's valve closed, be sure to charge the liquid refrigerant into the service port at the liquid side.
• If the specified amount of refrigerant cannot be charged, fully open the outdoor unit's valves at the liquid and gas
sides, operate the air conditioner in the COOL mode, and then charge the refrigerant into the service port at the gas
side. In this time, choke the refrigerant slightly by operating the valve of the canister to charge the liquid refrigerant.
• The liquid refrigerant may be charged suddenly, therefore be sure to charge refrigerant gradually.

Full opening of the valve
Open the valves of the outdoor unit fully.
* Do not open or close the valves when the ambient temperature is -20°C or less. Doing so may damage the valve O-
rings and result in refrigerant leakage.

Heat insulation for pipe
• Apply the pipe's heat insulation separately at the liquid and gas sides.
• Be sure to use a thermal insulator resistant up to 248 °F (120 °C) or higher for pipes at the gas side.
Finishing after connecting pipes
• After the piping connection work has been finished, cover the opening of the piping / wiring panel with the piping
cover, or fill silicon or putty in the space between the pipes.
• In case of drawing-out the pipes downward or sideward, also close the openings of the base plate and the side
plate.
• Under the opened condition, a problem may be caused due to the entering of water or dust.
