the m anifold gauge and the vacuum pum p to the
charging valve by service hoses as show n Fig.8.
2.O pen the valve of the low pressure side of m anifold
gauge,then,run the vacuum pum p.Vacuum the indoor
unit and the connecting pipes until the pressure in
them low ers to below 1.5m m H G (The operation tim e
for vacuum ing is about 10 m inutes).W hen the desired
vacuum i

of the m anifold and stop the vacuum pum p.
3.D isconnect the service hoses and fit the cap to
the charging valve.
4.R em ove the blank caps,and fully open the spindles
of the 2-w ay and 3-w ays valves w ith a service valve
