Mount the unit at the end of an existing vacuum piping trunk line
within 5' ( 153 cm) of a dedicated 15 A, 120 VAC receptacle. Do not
use an extension cord. If a dedicated receptacle is not nearby,
move the central vacuum close enough to reach a receptacle and
extend the central vacuum piping to reach the new location.
If installing a new system with new piping, suitable locations for the
central vacuum unit are in the garage, basement, utility room, or
other remote area, except where exposed to weather. A dedicated
15 A, 120 V outlet is required to power the system.
Left and right side intakes are provided for convenient attachment
to existing piping. Use either left or right side intake and place the
included PVC cap tightly into the unused inlet. One inlet must be
capped at all times. Do not glue pipes or fittings to intakes.
This appliance requires ventilation. Do not install in a heat
producing area or confined space such as a furnace room or attic.
Closet installation is not recommended.

INSTALLATION
Mount the wall bracket where there will be at least 12" (30 cm)
of space above and to the sides of the central vacuum. Mount
so there is at least 18" (46 cm) above the floor. For most
installations the top of the bracket can be mounted 50" (127
cm) above the floor. Adjust according to the above
requirements.
When lifting the central vacuum into position, get close to the
unit and bend at the knees. Grab the unit from the bottom with
one hand and the top with the other. Make sure the power cord
is clear of the mounting area and cannot be pinched when
positioning onto the wall bracket.
Use a hose clamp to secure the muffler to the exhaust port.
If desired, the exhaust may be vented outdoors. Maximum
exhaust pipe length is 15' (4.6 m). Not available on all models.
