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 
efficiency, 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-
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 
properly.
Evacuation Instructions
Before using the manifold gauge and vacuum 
pump, read their operation manuals to familiarize
