2 Ensure that the 2 refrigerant pipes are insulated to prevent condensation.
3 Refrigerant pipe bending radius must be 4" (100 mm) or more.
Caution
Be sure to use the insulation of specied thickness. Excessive thickness may
cause incorrect installation of the indoor unit and branch box, and lack of
thickness may cause dew drippage.
Warning:
When pumping down the refrigerant, stop the compressor before disconnect-
ing the refrigerant pipes. The compressor may burst and cause injury if any
foreign substance, such as air, enters the system.
