3) Run the vacuum pump 15 minutes or more.
4) Check the vacuum with the gauge manifold valve, then close it and shut off the vacuum
pump.
5) Leave as it is for one or two minutes. Make sure pointer gauge manifold valve remains
in the same position. Confirm that pressure gauge shows —0.101 MPa [Gauge] (—-30
in.Hg [-760 mmHg]J).
6) Quickly remove gauge manifold valve from service port of stop valve.
7) After refrigerant pipes are connected and evacuated, fully open all stop valves on both
sides of gas pipe and liquid pipe. Operating the unit without fully opening the valves
lowers the performance and causes problems.
