grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in
electrical shock. Check with a qualifi ed electrician or service person if you are
in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded, or if the plug does
not fi t into an outlet. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance.
Have a proper outlet installed by a qualifi ed electrician.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has a grounding plug
that looks like the plug illustrated in Figure A. Make sure that the appliance is
connected to an outlet having the same confi guration as the plug.

Your home is most likely already fi tted with the system of plastic pipes
and inlet valves and you are ready to install the central power unit. If your
home is not fi tted for a central vacuum system, you can contract to have
the Central Vacuum System installed by a professional by contacting
your local dealer or distributor or choose to do-it-yourself.
The central 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 fi lter, and inspect the central 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 fi lter would be more convenient. Other suit-
able locations are in the basement, laundry room, or ventilated storage room.
Use caution when drilling holes in walls as gas pipelines and water pipes
and electrical wires may be present. Holes in the masonry are only
allowable through it, if its standing stability is not impaired. Holes in wood
studs should be drilled. Depending on what material your home is
built with, use the appropriate anchors to hang your power unit. Power unit
simply slides onto mounting bracket and clicks into place.

• Place the central power unit in a place that is removed from the general
living area. The exhaust should be easy to connect to a ventilation pipe.
This can be done regardless of the house's construction material.
• Locate the two low voltage wires near the main pipe. Remove the
insulation from the low volt wire. Insert the low volt wire into the spring
loaded low volt connectors. Be certain you comply with your local
electrical codes and regulations.
