STEP 5 - Outside
1. Carefully roll the excess tubing and place it behind the
condenser, lying flat on the ground.
2. Align the line set connectors to the outside condenser
and tighten the first few threads by hand. NOTE: Make
sure the piping connection to outside unit has plenty of
slack and line set is not stressed.
Carefully unroll to indoor
handler connection
3. Using two open-ended wrenches, or crescent
(adjustable-type) wrenches, and the image below as a
guide: you will now tighten the bottom screw connector.
Place wrenches on points marked "1" & "2," only turning the
nut at the point marked "2." Ensure the screw connector
does not become crooked as you work quickly to tighten it.
Tighten the connector
until it is snug.
4. Then, tighten the
connector slightly
beyond that point to
apply torque the the
connector. Please
refer to the manual
for information about
torque requirements.
Repeat the same
steps for the top
screw connector.

STEP 6 - Outside
1. Starting with the top valve, using an open-ended wrench,
or crescent (adjustable-type) wrench, remove the brass cap
from the valve on the outside unit.
2. Then, insert a 5 mm Allen wrench to open the valve by
turning it counter-clockwise until it stops turning. DO NOT
force it.
NOTE: When opening the valves you may hear a soft
hissing sound as a slight amount of R-410a refrigerant
exits the condenser.
3. Reinstall the cap and tighten securely.
4. Repeat the same steps for the bottom valve.
5. Using soapy water (in a spray bottle or with a brush), or
leak detection spray, apply to the Quick Connect
the indoor air handler and outdoor condenser to check for
leaks. If you see bubbles begin to form, this indicates there
is a leak. If so, retighten the connection accordingly until
the bubbles are gone. Please refer to the manual for more
detailed information on checking for leaks.
