Evacuation
CAUTION 
Fan Motor Overheat!
Never test operation without the 
unit in the wall sleeve. A serious 
change in design specifications for 
air movement through the 
evaporator and condenser 
compartments, causing the fan 
motor to over heat and the 
refrigeration system to become 
unbalanced will occur when the unit 
is not installed in the wall sleeve.
CAUTION            
High Temperatures!
Do not allow sludge or oil to contact 
skin when evacuating refrigerant 
from equipment. Direct contact with 
sludge or oil may cause minor or 
moderate injury.
Thoroughly evacuate the system 
using a high vacuum pump, capable 
of producing a vacuum equivalent to 
50 microns and a thermocouple 
vacuum gauge to give a true reading 
of the vacuum in the system.
Note:
Never use the system 
compressor as a vacuum 
pump or run when under a 
high vacuum. Motor damage 
could occur.
Evacuation Procedure
1.
Connect the vacuum pump, 
vacuum tight manifold set with 
high vacuum hoses, 
thermocouple vacuum gauge, 
and charging cylinder.
2.
Connect the low side line to the 
process tube of the compressor.
3.
Connect the high side line to the 
process tube of the liquid line 
strainer.
Note:
If either process tube is not 
long enough to receive the 
compression or flare fitting 
and still leave room for a 
pinch-off, swag the tube and 
braze in an extra length of 
tubing.
