Mounting Instructions for Vroom Garage Vac Model GH-120  

 

Surface Mounting to Drywall Surfaces (1/2″, 13mm, thick)  

 

 

1. For maximum coverage, choose a wall or surface that is located close to the garage door 

and has an electrical outlet close by. 

 
2. Use the paper template from the back page of this instruction manual, and tape to the wall or 

surface.  Vroom Garage Vac must be installed a minimum 

of 3″ (75mm) from the floor for the 

exhausting air.  Align the template so that the 2 vertical center points of the template are 
aligned over the centerline of a 2x4 stud behind the drywall for additional stability.  Use a 
level for alignment. 

 
3. With an awl or similar pointed object, mark the center of the key holes accurately.  Carefully 

remove template from the wall and place with this manual for future reference. 

 
4. Using a 3/32 drill bit, pre-drill all 4 holes. 
 
5. Using a 5/16 drill bit to enlarge 

only 

the  

    2 holes which go through the drywall  
    without the stud support.  These are the 

holes that require 2 drywall anchors. 

 
6. Squeeze the two arms of the plastic  
    anchor together and insert through the 

hole.  

Very lightly 

hammer the anchor 

flush with the drywall surface. 

 
7. Insert the red key-pin and push firmly  
    to toggle the anchor open behind the  
    drywall.  Remove red pin. 
 
8. Attach all four #8 screws through the 

marked keyholes.  Keep the screw  

    

heads 1/8″ from the wall surface.

 

 

    Follow steps 4 - 7 from Page 4 to  
             complete installation. 

• 

For wood surface 

use the 

    2 screws supplied with 
    the wand holder package. 

 

• 

For dry-wall 

use two 1-1/2 long  

   screws from the fastener package.  

 

    

NOTE: 

The wand holder should be  

    mounted against a wall stud for extra  
    strength.
