1) Connect the vacuum pump, as illustrated figure
17A.
2) 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
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.
3) 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
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.
4) Remove the hose from the vacuum pump and
place it on the charging cylinder. See figure
17B.

5) The system is now ready for final charging.
6. Recharge as follows :
1) 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.

With valve C open, discharge the hose at the
manifold connection.
With valve C open, discharge the hose at the

3) Open valve A and allow the proper charge to
enter the system. Valve B is still closed.
4) If more charge is required, the high-side will not
take it. Close valve A.
5) With the unit running, open valve B and add the
balance of the charge.

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.

NOTES
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.

3. INSTALLATION
3.1 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.
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.
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.
All side louvers of the cabinet must remain
exposed to the outside of the structure.

PREPARATION OF CHASSIS
1. Before installing the room air conditioner, please
install the knob. (If it is not fixed on the unit.)
2. Remove the screws which fasten the cabinet at
both sides and at the back.
3. Slide the unit from the cabinet by gripping the base
pan handle and pulling forward while
bracing the cabinet.
