3.5. Sitting & Fixing
Important! The weight of the Vortex Air is 76kg. All moving and handling should be assessed
and appropriate manual handling procedures implemented.
The “Vernacare Vortex Air” disposal unit should be positioned adjacent to the following:
a) A suitable power supply point.
b) An adequate water supply line.
c) A suitable drainage connection.
Check the floor area is firm and level. The unit must be bolted down using the holes provided. Mark
out the bolt positions on the floor and fit bolts utilizing the dimensions given in Figure 1.
Ensure that adequate space is maintained at each side of the Macerator to allow for access.
Vernacare recommend a gap of 6” - 8” (150 - 200mm) per side and 4” - 5” (100 - 125mm) away from
the wall at the back.
Important- To comply with UK WRAS regulations sufficient clearance must be provided to allow
water to freely discharge from the water tank overflow weir.
Check that the unit is level in both directions.
Please ensure that the isolation switch is located within 3 metres of the rear of the machine. This
switch must be easily accessible and clearly marked as the correct disconnecting device for the
Vortex Air.
! For North American installations, the macerator will be supplied with an appropriate mains cable
and plug. This must be connected as described above to a clearly labelled disconnection device.
