Unit Installation
Using the mounting plate provided with
your vacuum cleaner, secure the unit to
the wall (figur e 1 ) , at a height allowing
easy access for maintenance of the dirt
receptacle and/or bags (see page 4).
The connections to the piping system
will require some basic tools: a mitre
box and small saw or a pipe cutter
(figure 2). See pages 8 and 9 for general
instructions pertaining to the preparation
of PVC pipes. To simplify matters,
installation kits, including necessary
ttings, 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. Use the provided rubber
seal and clamp collars to secure the
last tting to the air intake and obtain an
air-tight t (figure 3).
