What it concludes

• Inspect the mini split unit closely upon unboxing to ensure no shipping damage occurred.
• Use a stud finder to locate studs and a level to ensure the mounting plate is level before screwing it into the wall.
• Fish the signal cable through the unit from back to front, removing the strain relief temporarily for easier access.
• Run the vacuum pump for 10 to 15 minutes to pull the system down to -0.1 bar.
• Wait 5 minutes after running the vacuum pump to ensure there is no change in pressure.
• Apply soapy water to the joints on the outdoor unit to check for air bubbles and leaks after opening the valve cores.
