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). Contact your local authorized
dealer 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 conve-
nient. 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 floor to allow convenient removal
of the dirt bucket. Mount unit at least 30 cm (12 inches) from the
floor, 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).
