WARNING:
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding (earthing) conductor can
result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualifi ed electrician or
service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly
grounded (earthed). Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance. If
it will not fi t the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualifi ed
electrician. This appliance is for use on a nominal 120 volt (see rating
plate for correct voltage) circuit and has a ground (earth) plug that looks
like the plug illustrated in Figure 2. Make sure that the appliance is
connected to an outlet having the same confi guration as the plug. No
adapter should be used with this appliance.
• If the power cable is damaged, use only an OEM replacement cable.
• Check the power unit on/off button and all inlet valves for operation.
• This power unit is intended for household and commercial use only.

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 fl oor to allow
convenient removal of the dirt receptacle. For
proper motor cooling, there must be at least
12” (31 cm) between unit and the ceiling (see
Figure 1). 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. Connect the
wires to the spring loaded connectors on the
back side of the power unit. Connect the main
tube line to the left side of the power unit with
the connector and clamp provided. Do not
cement this connection to the power unit in
case you wish to remove at some future date.
NOTE: For paper bag units, follow directions
provided with unit.
This unit may be vented
outside to exhaust fumes and germs. For
optimum noise reduction, this unit must be
vented outside. Use the same tubing and
fi ttings as before. Do not vent power unit
exhaust into a wall, ceiling or concealed space
of a building. Use two exhaust lines for twin
motor units.
NOTE: On/off button on power
unit is only used for the inlet on power unit. 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 wire with ground.
Plug power unit cord into appropriate electrical
outlet. Be sure line voltage is sufficient to
handle 20 amp load.
Grounding
(Earthing)
Instructions
This appliance must be grounded (earthed). If
it should malfunction or break down,
grounding (earthing) provides a path of least
resistance or electric current to reduce the risk of
electric shock. This appliance is equipped with
a cord having an equipment-grounding
(earthing) plug. The plug must be plugged into
an appropriate outlet that is properly installed
and grounded (earthed) in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.
