GENERAL INFORMATION
1.0 INSTALLATION
1.1 Planning
If your home already has a system of plastic pipes and inlet valves, you are ready to install the power
unit, (refer to Install Central Vacuum section 1.3). If not, you can contract a professional to have the
central vacuum system installed. Contact your local authorized dealer/distributor if you have any
questions.
1.2 Central Vacuum Location
The central vacuum should be located away from
the general living area, yet accessible so you can
remove the dirt bucket and inspect the vacuum. A
typical location would be in a garage or utility area
where emptying the dirt bucket would be more
convenient. Other suitable locations are in the
basement, laundry room or a ventilated storage
room.
1.3 Central Vacuum Installation
The vacuum hangs on the mounting bracket
which is screwed to the wall. The center of
the mounting bracket should be about 122 cm
(48 inches) from the fl oor to allow convenient
removal of the dirt bucket. Mount unit at least 30
cm (12 inches) from the fl oor, ceiling and corner
sidewall to insure adequate ventilation for motor. If
mounting on plaster or panel walls, ensure screws
enter studs. If mounting on concrete wall, drill the
wall with a masonry bit and insert the appropriate
wall anchors (refer to Figure 2).
The central vacuum system is designed for dry pick up of household dirt and dust and is not intended
to pick up liquids. Avoid picking up hard or sharp objects with the system to prevent hose and plastic
pipe damage or clogs. This central vacuum system is intended for household use only.
