CAUTION: After the confirmation of the above conditions, prepare the wiring as
follows:
1) Never fail to have an individual power circuit specifically for the air conditioner. As for the method of wiring,
be guided by the circuit diagram posted on the inside of control cover.
2) The screw which fasten the wiring in the casing of electrical fittings are liable to come loose from vibrations
to which the unit is subjected during the course of transportation. Check them and make sure that they are
all tightly fastened. (If they are loose, it could cause burn-out of the wires.)

1. To remove the front panel from the indoor unit.
• Set the air direction louvers up-and-down to the
position(horizontally) by hand.
• Remove the securing screws that retain the front
panel. Pull the lower left and right sides of the
grille toward you and lift it off.

2. To check the drainage.
• Pour a glass of water on the evaporator.
• Ensure the water flows through the drain hose of
the indoor unit without any leakage and goes out

3. Drain piping
• The drain hose should point downward for easy
drain flow.
• Do not make drain piping.

portion of the indoor unit with insulation materi-
al and secure it with two kinds of vinyl tapes.

2. In cases where the outdoor unit is installed
below the indoor unit perform the following.
• Tape the piping, drain hose and connecting cable
from down to up.
• Secure the tapped piping along the exterior wall
using saddle or equivalent.

CAUTION:
To avoid nitrogen entering the
refrigerant system in a liquid state, the top of
the cylinder must be higher than its bottom when you
pressurize the system. Usually, the cylinder is used
in a vertical standing position.

Air and moisture remaining in the refrigerant system
have undesirable effects as indicated below.
have undesirable effects as indicated below.
• Pressure in the system rises.
• Operating current rises.
• Cooling(or heating) efficiency drops.
• Moisture in the refrigerant circuit may freeze and
block capillary tubing.
• Water may lead to corrosion of parts in the refrig-
eration system.
Therefore, the indoor unit and tubing between the
indoor and outdoor unit must be leak tested and
evacuated to remove any noncondensables and
moisture from the system.

1. Preparation
• Check that each tube(both liquid and gas side
tubes) between the indoor and outdoor units have
been properly connected and all wiring for the test
run has been completed. Remove the service
valve caps from both the gas and the liquid side on
the outdoor unit. Note that both the liquid and the
gas side service valves on the outdoor unit are
kept closed at this stage.

gas side service valves on the outdoor unit are
kept closed at this stage.
2. Leak test
• Connect the manifold valve(with pressure gauges)
and dry nitrogen gas cylinder to this service port

• After the system is found to be free of leaks,
relieve the nitrogen pressure by loosening the
charge hose connector at the nitrogen cylinder.
When the system pressure is reduced to normal,

3. Evacuation
• Connect the charge hose end described in the pre-
ceding steps to the vacuum pump to evacuate the
tubing and indoor unit.
Confirm the "Lo" knob of the manifold valve is
open. Then, run the vacuum pump.
The operation time for evacuation varies with tub-
ing length and capacity of the pump. The following
