CAUTION
Do not apply excess torque. Otherwise, the nut may crack depending on 
the conditions.

Evacuating
After the piping has been connected to the indoor unit, you can perform the 
air purge together at once.
AIR PURGE
Evacuate the air in the connecting pipes and in the indoor unit using a 
vacuum pump. Do not use the refrigerant in the outdoor unit. For details, 
see the manual of the vacuum pump.
•  Tightening torque of fl are pipe connections
  The operating pressure of R410A 
is higher than that of R22 (approx. 
1.6 times). It is therefore necessary 
to fi rmly tighten the fl are pipe 
connecting sections (which connect 
the indoor and outdoor units) up to the 
specifi ed tightening torque. Incorrect 
connections may cause not only a 
gas leakage, but also damage to the 
refrigeration cycle.
1.  How to shape the pipes 
  Shape the pipes along the incused line on 
the outdoor unit.
2. How to fi t position of the pipes
  Put the edges of the pipes to the place with 
a distance of 85 mm from the incused line.
     Shaping pipes
Align the centers of the connecting pipes and tighten the fl are nut as far as 
possible with your fi ngers. Then tighten the nut with a spanner and torque 
wrench as shown in the fi gure.
   Tightening connection
Be sure to use a vacuum pump with counter-fl ow prevention function so that 
inside oil of the pump does not fl ow backward into pipes of the air conditioner 
when the pump stops.
(If oil inside of the vacuum pump enters the air conditioner, which use R410A, 
refrigeration cycle trouble may result.)
1.  Connect the charge hose from the manifold valve to the service port of the 
packed valve at gas side.
2.  Connect the charge hose to the port of the vacuum pump.
3.  Open fully the low pressure side handle of the gauge manifold valve.
4. Operate the vacuum pump to start evacuating. Perform evacuating for 
about 15 minutes if the piping length is 20 meters. 
(15 minutes for 20 meters) 
(assuming a pump capacity of 27 liters per minute) Then confi rm that the 
compound pressure gauge reading is –101 kPa (–76 cmHg).
5.  Close the low pressure side valve handle of the gauge manifold valve.
6.  Open fully the valve stem of the packed valves (both gas and liquid sides).
7.  Remove the charging hose from the service port.
8.  Securely tighten the caps on the packed valves.

CAUTION
•  KEEP IMPORTANT 5 POINTS FOR PIPING WORK.
  (1)  Take away dust and moisture (inside of the connecting pipes).
  (2)  Tighten the connections (between pipes and unit).
  (3)  Evacuate the air in the connecting pipes using a VACUUM PUMP.
  (4)  Check gas leak (connected points).
  (5)  Be sure to fully open the packed valves before operation.

     Packed valve handling precautions
•  Open the valve stem all the way out, but do not try to open it beyond the 
stopper.
•  Securely tighten the valve cap with torque in the following table.

Electrical Work
1.  The power supply line must be supplied to outdoor unit.
2.  The supply voltage must be the same as the rated voltage of the air 
conditioner.
3.  Prepare the power source for exclusive use with the air conditioner.
  NOTE
•  Wire type : More than H07RN-F or 60245 IEC66 (1.5 mm
2
 or more) 
• Connection to fi xed wiring:
  A switch or circuit breaker which disconnects all poles and has a 
contact separation of at least 3 mm must be incorporated in the fi xed 
wiring. An approved circuit breaker or switches must be used.
•  Perform wiring works so as to allow a general wiring capacity.
