INSTALLATION
Installation of Power Unit
The power unit hangs on the mounting bracket which is
screwed to the wall. The bottom screws of the mounting
bracket should be about 48” (122 cm) up from the floor
to allow convenient removal of the dirt bucket. For proper
motor cooling, there must be at least 12” (31 cm) between
unit and the ceiling. If mounting on plaster or panel walls,
be sure mounting screws enter studs. If mounting on
concrete wall, drill the wall with a masonry bit and insert the
appropriate wall anchors. Strip the low-voltage wires that
were installed with the main trunk line. (Figure 2)
With optional “Quick Clean” Inlet on the power unit, connect
trunk line wires to wire harness on back of unit before
connecting to the spring loaded connectors on the back
side of the power unit. If you do not have the “Quick Clean”
valve option, simply connect the trunk line wires directly to
the spring loaded connectors on the back side of the power
unit. Connect the main tube line to the tube intake on the
power unit with the connector and clamp provided.
Do not glue the connection to the power unit in case you
wish to remove at a future date. This unit may be vented
outside. Do not exceed a run of over 20 feet off of exhaust,
Do not vent power unit into a wall, ceiling or concealed
space of a building.
NOTE: Power Unit On/Off button is used when unit is not equipped with “Quick Clean” inlet or as an over ride
switch in the event your trunk line wiring becomes damaged. All other inlets operate automatically when hose
end is inserted into inlet valve. The power cable has a three-prong female connector on one end. This connector
must be plugged into the mating connector on the power unit. Plug the other end of the power cable into the
wall electrical outlet.
WIRING: Check local codes, but use not less than #12-2 wires with ground. Plug power unit cord into
appropriate electrical outlet. Be sure line voltage is sufficient to handle 20 amp loads.
Intake Flange
Your power unit has been designed
for either a left or right pipe intake.
This is to give you more flexibility
when choosing the location you
wish to hang your power unit. To
change the direction of the intake
flange, you simply remove the two
Torx 20 screws located on the
intake flange and turn the intake
flange 180 degrees. Secure the
intake flange with the same two
Torx 20 screws. (Figure 3)
