CHOOSE THE MOUNTING LOCATION
The unit must be mounted within 5 feet of an electrical outlet. Do not use an extension cord.
• The unit should be mounted so that it is in a dry location and out of the way, but still accessible for emptying and accessing the utility valves. Suggested mounting: Minimum of 12 inches between unit lid and ceiling or shelving.
• Do not install this unit where ambient temperature regularly exceeds 120 degrees F.
• Vacuums must breathe…do not enclose. Be sure to mount 6 inches from sidewalls.

MOUNTING THE WALL BRACKET (SHEETROCK)
*If installing direct from the factory, you will first need to slide the wall bracket out of the unit bracket (packed this way for shipping purposes). These brackets are found on the back of the unit.
1. Find center of stud and mount the wall bracket. Note, the bracket mounts in the middle of the unit, so you will need to mount approx. 3” below your desired unit height.
