Evacuation:
Connect the charge hose end described in the
preceding steps to the vacuum pump to evacuate
the tubing and the indoor unit. Confirm that the
"Lo" knob of the manifold valve is open. Run the
vacuum pump, The operation time for evacuation
varies with the tubing length and capacity of the
pump.
Allow the pump to operate until the system has
been evacuated down to 300 microns. Allow the
pump to continue running for an additional 15
minutes, Turn off the pump and leave the
connections secured to the two service valves. After
5 minutes, if the system fails to hold 500 microns or
less, check all connections for tight fit and repeat
the evacuation procedure.
