• When piping work is complete, it is necessary to perform a pressure test
and evacuate system with a vacuum pump.
• If using additional refrigerant, purge the air from the refrigerant pipes and
indoor unit using a vacuum pump, then charge additional refrigerant.
• Use a hexagonal wrench (3/16 inch (4mm)) to operate the stop valve rod.
• All refrigerant pipe joints should be tightened with a torque wrench to the
speciedtighteningtorque.

1) Pressurize the liquid pipe and gas pipe from the service ports of each stop valve to 550psi (3.8MPa) (do not pressurize
more than 550psi (3.8MPa)) for 1 hour minimum, 24 hours recommended. If there is a pressure drop, check for leaks,
make repairs and perform the pressure test again.
2) Connect the gauge manifold’s charging hose to the gas stop valve’s service port.
3) Fully open the low-pressure valve (Lo) on the gauge manifold and fully close the high-pressure valve (Hi).
(High-pressure valve will require no further operation.)
4) Evacuatesystemusingvacuumpumptobelow500micronsfor1hourminimum.
5) Close the low-pressure valve (Lo) on the gauge manifold and stop vacuum pumping.
(Maintain this condition for a few minutes to make sure that the compound pressure gauge pointer does not swing
back.)*

6) Remove the valve caps from the liquid stop valve and gas stop valve.
7) To open the liquid stop valve, turn the rod of the valve 90° counter-clockwise using a hexagonal wrench.
Close it after 5 seconds, and check for gas leakage.
Usingsoapywater,checkforgasleakagefromtheindoorunit’sareandoutdoorunit’sareandvalverods.
After the check is complete, wipe all soapy water off.
8) Disconnect the charging hoses from the service port for the gas stop valve, then fully open the liquid and gas stop valves.
(Do not attempt to turn the valve rods further than they can go.)
9) Tightenthevalvecapsandserviceportcapsfortheliquidandgasstopvalveswithatorquewrenchtothespecied
torques.
Refer to “4. Refrigerant piping” on page 6 for details.

If the compound pressure gauge pointer swings back, the refrigerant may have water content or there may be a loose
pipe joint.
Check all pipe joints and retighten nuts as needed, then repeat steps 3) through 5).
6. Relling refrigerant
Check the type of refrigerant to be used on the machine nameplate.
Precautions when adding R410A
Fill from the liquid pipe in liquid form.
R410A is a mixed refrigerant, so adding it in gas form may cause the refrigerant composition to change, preventing normal
operation.
• Beforelling,checkwhetherthecylinderhasasiphonattachedornot.(Itshouldhavesomethinglike“liquidllingsiphon
attached” displayed on it.)
Filling a cylinder with an attached siphon
Standthecylinderuprightwhenlling.
There is a siphon pipe inside, so the cylinder
neednotbeupside-downtollwithliquid.
Filling other cylinders
Turn the cylinder
upside-downwhenlling.
• Be sure to use the R410A tools to ensure pressure and to prevent foreign objects entering.
