[. . . ] Do-ItYourself Planning & Installation Manual for your new AFUERA Central Cleaning System TM A. How to Plan Your New Central Cleaning System Before you start, read these instructions thoroughly. You will be pleased to learn that a central cleaning system is surprisingly easy to install, and will provide you with years of trouble-free enjoyment. All central cleaning systems may be installed in either existing or new construction. In either case, the number of inlets required and their locations must be determined before starting the installation. fingertip height (about 30 inches (76cm)), while others want it to match the electric outlet height. STEP 2: Choose Power Unit Location The power unit can be mounted on almost any wall. [. . . ] Keep tension on the coat hanger while inserting the valve into the mounting plate with a twisting motion (See Fig. Do not use glue; the built in mounting plate gasket will provide a positive seal. Align the screw holes in the valve with those in the mounting plate. Using the screws provided, secure the valve in place. Use the extra short screw if the longer is going to interfere with the tubing behind. Apply glue to an adequate length of tubing and aim it upwards through the hole and into the 90 degree dual elbow fitting on the back of the mounting plate. Join this branch line to the trunk line using a 90 degree sweep tee. If the inlet valve is to be serviced from the attic, shorter pieces of tubing joined by couplings may be required due to overhead space restrictions. Precut these pieces and work quickly to prevent the on the end of the tubing from drying before it reaches the fitting at the valve below. Assemble an adapter reducer bushing and some low-volt wire to an inlet valve. Repeat until all inlets are installed (Fig. 13). e) Closet Wall Installation--Existing Structure Often it is only practical to install your system with the line coming up through the floor inside a closet and then through both sides of the wall. To use this method, select suitable inlet valve location, exercising same precautions as for normal wall installation. Using a length of coat hanger, pierce a hole through both walls (Fig. 14). d) Floor Valves To install a floor inlet, drill a pilot hole with a coat hanger and check the location as previously described. When you are sure that the proposed location will not be blocked by a joist or other obstruction, cut a hole in the carpet slightly larger than your 2-1/4" (5. 7cm) drill bit. Drill a 2-1/4" (5. 7cm) hole in the floor. Chisel or saw this hole larger to accommodate the inlet valve low-volt connections (Fig. 12). Be sure to hold wire perfectly horizontal so that both interior and exterior holes line up with one another. Check for inner wall obstructions by bending short length of coat hanger wire at a right angle and twirling this right angle piece inside the wall. Drill a 2 1/4" (5. 7cm) hole horizontally through both sides of wall. Make the hole in the exterior wall surface into the same shape opening as described previously in STEP 1 - (Installing Inlet Valves) (Fig. From inside closet, cut 2-1/4" (5. 7cm) hole through floor, either directly below opening in wall or at convenient spot. [. . . ] Check power unit On/Off switch and all inlet valves for operation. This power unit is intended for household and commercial use. Important Safety Instructions When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following: Read all instructions before using this vacuum. NOTE: Your Central Cleaning System is U. L. To reduce the risk of electric shock, DO NOT USE outdoors or on wet surfaces.
