PLANNING
If your home already has the system of plastic pipes and inlet valves, you are ready to
install the power unit (refer to Install Power Unit section below). If not, you can contract to
have the system installed by a professional or you may choose to do-it-yourself. If you plan to
install the system yourself, it is important to carefully plan the location of each inlet valve, the
power unit, and the network of plastic pipes. This booklet only deals with the installation of the
power unit; "How-To" booklets are generally included with installation kits. Careful planning
will help you determine the installation kits to buy. The kits should contain enough plastic pipe
and fittings, and inlet valves for your needs. Check with your dealer if you have any questions.
Power Unit Location
NOTE: Mount power unit at least 12 inches from the ceiling and any adjacent wall, at
least 28 inches from the floor and within 6ft. of an electrical outlet.
WARNING: Do not block the hood ventilation openings on the top of the power unit. Lack
of ventilation will cause the motor to overheat.
WARNING: Do not locate the power unit in a high temperature area where it is
inaccessible, for example, an attic or crawl space.
The power unit should be located as far away from the general living area as possible, yet
accessible so you can remove the dirt receptacle, reach the filter, and inspect the power unit.
A typical location would be in a garage where you could vacuum your car or garage area
and where emptying the dirt receptacle and cleaning the filter would be more convenient.
Other suitable locations are in the basement, laundry room, or ventilated storage room. It is
recommended that the exhaust be vented outside; never into a wall, a ceiling, or a concealed
space in the house.
Wiring for Power Unit
Place the power unit within six feet of a dedicated, grounded
electric outlet. The unit requires 120 volt, 60 cycle AC power.
Be sure you will not overload the circuit.
Install Power Unit
You are now ready to install the power unit. Be sure the
power unit will be located at least 12 inches from the ceiling
and any adjacent walls and at least 28 inches from the floor.
The motor hood ventilation and safety relief
valve, if equipped, should never be obstructed.
Check to be sure you will be able to occasion-
ally remove the dirt receptacle, reach the filter,
and inspect the power unit.
In the chosen mounting location, compare
the distance between the wall studs and the
power unit mounting bracket. If the mount-
ing bracket cannot mount on one of the wall
studs, mount two boards horizontally be-
tween the studs and then attach the mounting
bracket to these.
Once the bracket is on the wall, you can now hang the power unit. With the unit on the
wall, align the power unit intake fitting with the main pipe projecting from the wall and connect
these together. DO NOT GLUE. At this point, the utility valve can be installed in the other un-
used intake fitting. Attach the exhaust pipe (or muffler, if equipped) to the motor exhaust fitting.
