Quick Start Guide
1. Starting with the top valve, using an open-ended wrench,
or crescent (adjustable-type) wrench, remove the brass cap
from the valve on the outside unit.
2. Then, insert a 5 mm Allen wrench to open the valve by
turning it counter-clockwise until it stops turning. DO NOT
force it.
NOTE: When opening the valves you may hear a soft
hissing sound as a slight amount of R-410a refrigerant
exits the condenser.
3. Reinstall the cap and tighten securely. Then, repeat the
same steps for the bottom valve.
4. Now you will perform the same action for the two Main
Valves (King Valves) after all other valves have been opened.
5. Using soapy water (in a spray bottle or with a brush), or
leak detection spray, apply to the Quick Connect
®
fittings at
the indoor air handler and outdoor condenser to check for
leaks. If you see bubbles begin to form, this indicates there is
a leak. If so, re-tighten the connection accordingly until the
bubbles are gone. Please refer to the manual for more
detailed information on checking for leaks.
STEP 6 - outside
1. Carefully roll the excess tubing and place it behind the
condenser, lying flat on the ground.
2. Align the line set connectors to the outside condenser and
tighten the first few threads by hand. NOTE: Make sure the
piping connection to outside unit has plenty of slack and
line set is not stressed.
Carefully unroll to indoor
handler connection
Connect directly to
exterior condenser
Keep excess coiled

3. Using two open-ended wrenches, or crescent
(adjustable-type) wrenches, and the image below as a guide:
tighten the bottom screw connector. Place wrenches on
points marked “1” & “2,” only turning the nut at the point
marked “2.” Ensure the screw connector does not become
crooked as you work quickly to tighten it. Tighten the
connector until it is
snug.
4. Then, tighten the
connector slightly
beyond that point to
apply torque to the
connector. Please refer
to the manual for
information about
torque requirements.
Repeat the same steps
for the top screw
connector.
