4 Preparative for Installation 4.1 Standard Accessory Parts The standard accessory parts listed below are furnished and should be used as required. Table 1 Indoor Unit Accessories Name Appearance Q'ty Usage To fix the hook on the Nut with Washer cabinet of the unit.
4.2.1 Indoor Unit (1). Install the unit at a place where is strong enough to withstand the weight of the unit. (2). The air inlet and outlet of the unit should never be clogged so that the airflow can reach every corner of the room. (3).
Indoor Length Diameter × Model Unit and Outdoor wall thickness) Liquid Unit (m) (mm) MV-F09BI Φ17×1.75 MV-F12BI Φ17×1.75 MV-F18BI Φ17×1.75 MV-F24BI Φ17×1.75 (1). The connecting pipe should be thermally insulated properly. (2). The pipe wall thickness shall be 0.5-1.0 mm and the pipe wall shall be able to withstand the pressure of 6.0 MPa.
5 Installation of the Unit 5.1 Installation of the Indoor Unit 5.1.1 Indoor unit dimension WARNING ! Install the indoor unit in a location which can withstand a load of at least five times the ①. weight of the main unit and which will not amplify sound or vibration. If the installation location is not strong enough, the indoor unit may fall and cause injuries.

(5). Adjust the height of the unit to make the drain pipe slant slightly downward so that the drainage will become much smoother. ◆Floor type Fig. 5 ◆Ceiling type Fig. 6 (6). Reinstall and tighten the right and left side panel.
5.1.4 Leveling The water level test must be done after installing the indoor unit to make the unit is horizontal, as shown below. Fig. 7 5.2 Installation of the Connection Pipe 5.2.1 Flare Processing (1). Cut the connection pipe with the pipe cutter and remove the burrs. (2).
Page 21
5.2.2 Bending Pipes (1). The pipes are shaped by your hands. Be careful not to collapse them. Fig. 9 (2). Do not bend the pipes in an angle more than 90°. (3). When pipes are repeatedly bent or stretched, the material will harden, making it difficult to bend or stretch them any more.

5.3.1 Vacuum (1). Remove the caps of the liquid valve, gas valve and also the service port. (2). Connect the hose at the low pressure side of the manifold valve assembly to the service port of the unit’s gas valve, and meanwhile the gas and liquid valves should be kept closed in case of refrigerant leak.
Fig. 17 Note: For the large-sized unit, it has the service port for both the gas valve and the liquid valve. During evacuation, it is available to connect two hoses of the manifold valve assembly to two service ports to quicken the evacuating speed. 5.4 Installation of the Drain Pipe 5.4.1 Precautions When Doing the Piping Work CAUTION!
