Installation
UniT insTallaTion
The connections to the piping
system will require some basic
tools: a mitre box and small saw
or a pipe cutter (gure 2). See
pages 9 and 10 for general instructions pertaining to the preparation
of PVC pipes. To simplify matters,
installation kits, including necessary fittings, pipes, glue and wiring,
as well as a detailed instructions
booklet, are available from
Riccar service centers.
Contrary to all other connections
in the piping system, do not glue
the last tting to your unit. Riccar
central vacuums are equipped
with an adjustable air intake valve
(gure 3), which does not require
glue. An air-tight fit is achieved with
the screw-type adjustment on the
fitting itself.
Using the mounting plate provided
with your vacuum cleaner, secure
the unit to the wall (gure 1), at
a height allowing easy access
for maintenance of the filters,
dirt receptacle and/or bags (see
pages 6 and 7).

Installing Inlets
When installing your vacuum inlets, we recommend that the principle of
electric polarity be taken into account. Ensure that the wire connected
onto contact A on inlet 1 is the same as that connected to contact A on
inlet 2, and so on. Do not cross, reverse or interchange wires.
