INSTALLATION

I. GENERAL INFORMA TION
A. This Central RV V acuum Cleaner is designed to be built

into a recreational vehicle at the time of manufacture;
or, with the use of an external mounting plate, it can be
installed in a recreational vehicle after it has been manu­factured.
Read Installation and Operating Instructions carefully
before attempting to start your vacuum cleaner installa­tion.

WARNING

!

Improper installation may damage equip­ment, could endanger life, cause serious in­jury and/or property damage.

B. LOCA TION:

1. External Mount Installation

a. To reach with vacuum hose as far as possible,

choose a wall or surface that is centrally located
and has an electrical outlet within 6 foot of
vacuum cleaner.

Attach mounting bracket to wall or surface at a
comfortable operating height or if not possible a
minimum of 6” above the floor. For hard surface
mounting, use the 4 outer holes with wood screws.
For drywall mounting, use 4 outer holes with dry­wall anchors (not supplied). See FIG . 1.

2. Flush Mount installation

a. To reach with vacuum hose as far as possible,

choose a wall or surface that is centrally located
and has a nearby 110 V olt AC power connection.
The vacuum cleaner requires 3-7/8” wall depth
(measured from the front of the wall).

WARNING

!

There may be electrical wiring in the wall.
Disconnect AC power cord and the positive
(+) 12 volt DC terminal at the supply bat­tery. Failure to follow this instruction may
create a shock hazard causing death or se­vere personal injury .

b. Attach paper template with tape to wall or sur-

face a minimum of 6“ above the floor, if mounted
in a vertical position. This will allow sufficient clear­ance for exhaust air. See FIG. 2.

g. Test unit for operation before installing. Check to

be sure vacuum cleaner bag, motor filter, exhaust

first into the opening and secure to wall with the 4
wood screws.
Note: Never use vacuum cleaner without dust bag
or motor filter in place.
Note: Optimal installation uses 6 wood screws
instead of 4 to reduce risk of loosening due to
road vibration.

C. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS - EXTERNAL MOUNT

1. This appliance must be grounded. If it should mal­function or breakdown, grounding provides a path of
least resistance for electric current to reduce the
risk of electric shock. See FIG. 3.

D. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS - FLUSH MOUNT

2. For permanently connected appliances, (in-wall in­stallation) this appliance must be connected to a
grounded metal permanent wiring system; or an
equipment-grounded conductor must be run with

c. T ape the template to the mounting surface of the

desired location. The bottom of the cut out must
be the minimum of 6” above the floor.

d. Center punch all of the circles with an awl or nail.

Remove the template. Draw a line connecting the
circles using a pencil and straight edge. This will
outline an area 7-3/4” x 15-7/8” that is to be cut
out.

e. Drill the 4 corner marks with a 1/16” drill bit, then

saw out the opening. Be sure to follow the line as
the mounting holes are close to the edge of the
