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 filter, 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 filter would be more convenient. Other suit-
able locations are in the basement, laundry room, or ventilated storage room.
CAUTION
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 if through it 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.
