Check your installation to make sure
it works properly.

All that’s left to do is check the quality of your

installation. First, check to see if you have a closed 

system; with no hose or handle attached, and all

inlet valves closed, there should be little or no air

coming through the exhaust on the power unit when 

it is turned on. Second, with the system still running, 

walk through your home. If you hear whistling or

hissing, you may have forgotten to glue a connection. 

Check basement and attic areas, too. Third, have a 

helper plug the hose into each of the inlet valves to

be sure you can turn the power on. Turn off the switch 

on the hose handle and the unit should turn off.

That’s it! You’ve just installed your own 
central vacuum system. 

You’ve just made cleaning easier... while 
improving the air quality in your home.
Congratulations!

To attach the low-voltage wires, strip the wire and 

crimp the strands into the two “slip-on” terminals

provided. Attach the terminals and plug the power

unit into the dedicated electrical outlet. The sentry 

light should come on. Flip the switch and the power 

unit should come to life. Attach the remaining

section of tubing to the power unit with connector/s 

and clamp/s provided. 

Caution: Do not glue the 

connection because you may need to disconnect 

the system at a future date.

 For added installation 

convenience, some power units may have inlet

connections on either side. If your system came

with a muffl er, clamp it to the exhaust port.

NOTE: Unit may be exhausted to exterior. Use 

the same tubing and fi ttings. If vented, the exhaust 

air should not be vented into a wall, ceiling or 

concealed space of a building. Venting over 

10 feet (3m) is not recommended. 

Power unit electrical wiring.

Check local codes but use not less than #14-3 wire.

Plug power unit cord into appropriate 120/220/230/240V 

— 50/60 cycle electrical outlet. Be sure line voltage 

is suffi cient to handle a 15- or 20-amp load. See your 

owner’s guide.
