11.3.4 Air Purging of the Piping and Indoor
The remaining air in the Refrigeration cycle which contains moisture may cause malfunction on the compressor.
1 Remove the caps from the 2-way and 3-way valves.
2 Remove the service-port cap from the 3-way valves.
3 To open the valve, turn the valve stem of 2-way valve counter-clockwise approx. 90° and hold it there for ten
seconds, then close it.
4 Check gas-leakage of the connecting portion of the pipings.
For the left pipings, refer to item 4(A).

clockwise until it stop.
6. To purge the air, push the pin on
the service port of 3-way valve for
three second using with a hexagonal
wrench and set it free for one minute.
Repeat this three times.
7. Set the both 2-way and 3-way valves to open position with the
Hexagonal wrench for the unit operation.
11.3.5 Connect the Cable to the Outdoor Unit
1 Remove the control board cover from the unit by loosening the screw.
2 Connection cable between indoor unit and outdoor unit shall be approved polychloroprene sheathed

3 x 1.5 mm (1.5HP) or 3 x 2.5 mm
cord. Do not use joint connection cable. Replace the wire if the existing wire (from concealed wiring, or
otherwise) is too short.
3 Secure the cable onto the control board with the holder (clamper).
