UniT insTallaTion

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).

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 Simplicity service centers.

gure 1

gure 2

Contrary to all other connections in the piping system, do not glue the last tting to your unit. Simplicity 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.

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.
