CAUTION
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment damage or improper operation.
Do not bury more than 36 in. (914 mm) of refrigerant pipe in the ground. If any section of pipe is buried, there must be a 6 in. (152 mm) vertical rise to the valve connections on the outdoor units. If more than the recommended length is buried, refrigerant may migrate to the cooler buried section during extended periods of system shutdown. This causes refrigerant slugging and could possibly damage the compressor at start--up.

EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment damage or improper operation.
Excessive torque can break flare nut depending on installation conditions.
Piping Connections to Outdoor IMPORTANT: Use refrigeration grade tubing ONLY. No
other type of tubing may be used. Use of other types of tubing will void manufacturer’s warranty. Make sure there is enough piping to cover the required length between the outdoor and indoor unit. Only use piping suitable for high side pressure for both high side and low side connections.
Piping Guide:
S Do not open service valves or remove protective caps from
tubing ends until all the connections are made.
S Bend tubing with bending tools to avoid kinks and flat spots. S Keep the tubing free of dirt, sand, moisture, and other
contaminants to avoid damaging the refrigerant system.
S Avoid sags in the suction line to prevent the formation of oil
traps. Insulate each tube with minimum 3/8--in. (10 mm) wall thermal pipe insulation. Inserting the tubing into the insulation before making the connections will save time and improve installation quality.
1. Remove service valve cover if provided with unit.
2. Cut tubing with tubing cutter.
3. Install correct size flare nut onto tubing and make flare con­nection.
4. Apply a small amount of refrigerant oil to the flare connec­tion on the tubing.
5. Properly align tubing in with service valve.
6. Tighten flare nut and finish installation using two wrenches as shown in Fig. 14.

CAUTION
UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment damage or improper operation.
Never use the system compressor as a vacuum pump.
Refrigerant tubes and indoor coil should be evacuated using the recommended deep vacuum method of 500 microns. The alternate triple evacuation method may be used if the procedure outlined below is followed. Always break a vacuum with dry nitrogen.
SYSTEM VACUUM AND CHARGE
Using Vacuum Pump
1. Completely tighten flare nuts A, B, C, D, connect manifold gage charge hose to a charge port of the low side service valve. (See Fig. 21.)
2. Connect charge hose to vacuum pump.
3. Fully open the low side of manifold gage. (See Fig. 22)
4. Start vacuum pump
5. Evacuate using either deep vacuum or triple evacuation method.
6. After evacuation is complete, fully close the low side of manifold gage and stop operation of vacuum pump.
7. The factory charge contained in the outdoor unit is good for up to 25 ft. (8 m) of line length. For refrigerant lines longer than 25 ft (8 m), add 0.1 oz. per foot of extra piping up to the maximum allowable length.
8. Disconnect charge hose from charge connection of the low side service valve.
