Air Evacuation

Preparations and Precautions
Air and foreign matter in the refrigerant circuit
can cause abnormal rises in pressure, which
can damage the air conditioner, reduce its
ef ciency, and cause injury. Use a vacuum pump
and manifold gauge to evacuate the refrigerant
circuit, removing any non-condensable gas and
moisture from the system.
Evacuation should be performed upon initial
installation and when unit is relocated.
BEFORE PERFORMING EVACUATION
Check to make sure that both high-
o
pressure and low-pressure pipes between
the indoor and outdoor units are
connected properly in accordance with the
Refrigerant Piping Connection section of
this manual.
Check to make sure all wiring is connected
o
properly.
