Required tools:
Hexagonal wrench; adjustable wrench; torque wrenches, wrench to hold the joints and gas leak detector.
Note:
The air in the indoor unit and in the piping must be purged. If air remains in the refrigeration piping, it will
affect the compressor, reduce the cooling capacity, and could lead to a malfunction of unit.
Be sure, using a torque wrench to tighten the service port cap (after using the service port), so that it
prevents the gas leakage from the refrigeration cycle.
