• Ensure that the panel has been mounted firmly to withstand the weight of the unit, with the weight
being evenly shared by each screw.
2. Install the Piping Hole
• Select location for piping hole - either left-positioned or right-positioned (see installation dimension
diagram on page 3).
• Make piping hole in the wall approximately 2.5 inches in diameter at a slight downward slant (this
ensures proper drainage).
• Insert a piping-hole sleeve in the hole (i.e. PVC pipe) to prevent the connection piping and wiring
from being damaged
3. Install Drainage Hose Extension (optional)
• Drainage hose extension is included with unit, for use if attached drainage line is not long enough
for your application.
• Please note that the extension can be installed after existing drainage pipe is fed through wall later
in the installation process, if it is determined later that it is necessary.
• Do not wrench or bend drainage hose or extension.
CAUTION! - Failure to connect wiring as indicated below will result in damage to
the unit and/or personal injury. Mis-wiring will also void warranty. DO NOT inter-
change any wiring connections!

Indoor Unit Installation (cont.)
6. Hang Indoor Unit
• Bundle the refrigeration lines, drainage hose, and
wiring conduit attached to the indoor unit and
wrap them securely for enough length to extend
through the piping hole to the exterior of the
building. (Note: leave remainder unwrapped to
allow for remaining steps in installation of the
outdoor unit and connecting the indoor unit to the
outdoor unit.)
• Carefully push bundled lines through the piping
hole.
• Hang the unit on the wall by hooking the mounting
slots of the unit over the upper tabs of the rear
panel.
• Check to make sure the unit is properly secured --
it should feel firmly attached to the wall, and you
should not be able to slide it to the right or left.

bundled lines coming through the wall from the indoor unit.
• Tighten the flare nut of the connection pipes using a spanner
and torque wrench. (see diagram)
• Note: Do not over-tighten flare nuts, or the connection may be
damaged.
2. Insulate/Bundle Refrigeration Lines and Wiring
• Individually insulate all refrigeration lines and condensation drainage hose to ensure that
they do not sweat. This will help to maintain the unit at its proper capacities.
• Once all lines have been properly insulated, bundle the refrigeration lines with the wiring
conduit and wrap securely to complete the run to the outdoor unit.
• Note: The condensation drainage hose should be left free of the bundled lines in order to
drain properly.
3. Install Outdoor Condensation Drainage Hose (Heat Pump Models Only)
• When the heat pump unit is heating or defrosting, wastewater forms in
the outdoor unit. This can be drained off using the outdoor drain elbow
and hose provided.
• Insert the drain elbow into the hole on the base plate as shown.
• Joint the drain hose to the elbow and turn so that the water
drains in the desired location.

2. Leakage Test
• Use standard A/C practices to properly check refrigeration tubes and connections for any
leaks prior to system start up.
3. Pressure Testing
• Remove bonnet (cover) of gas valve on outdoor unit.
Charge system with Nitrogen to 100 PSI and check for
leaks. Evacuate Nitrogen.
• Connect the gas valves of a vacuum guage, vacuum
pump, and outdoor unit. (see diagram)
• Start the vacuum pump and allow to run for at least 30
minutes at a level of 500 microns or less.
• Shut off the vacuum and continue to monitor vacuum
guage for another 15 minutes. The pressure should not
rise above 800 microns.
• If a vacumm of 500 microns cannot be obtained, or if it
rises above 800 microns during the 15-minute monitoring
period, pressurize the system with nitrogen and look for
leaks. Repair any leaks that are found and repeat the vacuum testing.
• Close the valves to the vacuum pump and guage and disconnect from the outdoor unit.
• Tighten bonnet (cover) of gas valve and open gas and liquid valves completely.
4. System Testing
• Before testing the system, ensure that cut-off valves of the connection pipes are opened
and that all debris (such as packing scraps, thrums, etc.) are cleared from the unit.
• Switch on power to the system and press the “ON/OFF” button on the remote control to
activate the indoor unit.
• Press “MODE” button repeatedly, taking a moment on each setting to ensure that system
functions in all modes. (Note: HEAT mode will only function on
heat pump models.)
• If the remote control is lost, emergency run operation can be
initiated by pressing the the button in the upper right corner of
the indoor unit under the cover panel. (see diagram)
5. Installation Verification
• Have both units been securely and firmly installed?
• Are all piping connections secure?
