1) Remove service port cap of stop valve on the side of the outdoor unit gas pipe.
(The stop valves are fully closed and covered in caps in their initial state.)
2) Connect gauge manifold valve and vacuum pump to service port of stop valve
o n t h e s i d e o f t h e o u t d o o r u n i t g a s p i p e .
3) Run the vacuum pump. (Vacuumize for more than 15 minutes.)
4) Check the vacuum with gauge manifold valve, then close gauge manifold
valve, and stop the vacuum pump.
5) Leave as it is for one or two minutes. Make sure the pointer of gauge manifold
valve remains in the same position. Confirm that pressure gauge shows -14.7
p s i [ Ga u g e ] (- 0 . 1 0 1 M P a ).
6) Remove gauge manifold valve quickly from service port of stop valve.
7) After refrigerant pipes are connected and evacuated, fully open the valve stem
of all stop valves on both sides of gas pipe and liquid pipe by the hexagonal
wrench. If the valve stem hits the stopper, do not turn it any further. Operating
