GENERAL DIRECTIVES AND REFERENCES
ELECTRICAL GROUNDING SPECIFICATIONS
The system’s power unit must absolutely be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or a power unit failure, the grounding
provides the path of least resistance to any electrical current, minimizing the risk of electric shock. The power unit’s power
cord is 65’’ (1,65m) and is fitted with a grounding wire and pin. The power unit‘s power cord must always be directly
plugged into a suitable electrical outlet that is properly installed and grounded in conformity with the current local
electrical standards.
Do not use an extension cord(s) to connect the power unit to the electrical outlet.
General guidelines are to be respected at all times
1. The power unit must be installed in a well-ventilated area, protected from weathering and away from all sources of heat.
2. This central vacuum system is designed for dry surfaces and must not be used on wet surfaces or used in any circumstances to
pick up liquids or clean wet carpets or any wet ground.
3. The filter cage must be covered at all times by the permanent filter during the system's operation.
4. The motor housing must never be obstructed to prevent damages or overheating.
5. Do not use this system to pick up mud or similar substances to vacuum baking flour, talcum powder, cement, or gypsum dust;
it will obstruct and clog the filter media; you have to clean the filter several times during and after such pick-ups. Otherwise,
the motor will overheat and may be damaged.
6. Do not attempt to shorten or modify the power cord in any way.
7. As a safety measure, unplug the power cord before proceeding to maintenance or servicing.
8. In order for the warranty to remain valid, any repairs or service on the power unit must only be performed by an authorized
service center.
9. The power unit's position must be so that the power cord and electrical outlet are always easily accessible.
10. Pertaining to the use of an electrified valve (110 VAC) (intended for the connection of a current-carrying hose and electrically
motorized brush):
-Only connect a current-carrying hose to this wall valve
-Do not install a current-carrying valve outdoors
-Do not use a damaged hose; bring in the hose for repair at an authorized service center.
WARNING
Improper connection of the power unit grounding wire can
result in the risk of electric shock. If you doubt of a proper
grounding, contact a professional electrician. Do not modify
the power cord supplied with this power unit. If this power
cord connector does not fit your electrical outlet, have the
proper electrical outlet installed by a professional electrician.
This power unit is designed to be used on a nominal electrical
circuit of 15 A. 110-120 VAC in 60 Hz. The power cord is fitted
with a grounding pin. Make sure that the power cord is
plugged into an electrical outlet having the same
specifications. This appliance should be used without an
adapter. We recommend installing this unit on its
independent circuit and breaker, but it is not necessary to do
so.
