Mounting Instructions for Vroom Garage Vac Model GH-120
Surface Mounting to Wood or Block Wall
1. For maximum coverage, choose a wall or surface that is located close to the garage door
and has an electrical outlet close by.
2. Use the paper template from the back page of this manual and tape to the wall or surface –
use a level for alignment. The Vroom Garage Vac should be installed a minimum of
3″ (75mm) from the floor, leaving room for the exhausting air. Make sure to mark the
centers of the keyholes accurately with an awl or similar object. Carefully remove template
from the wall and place with this manual for future reference.
3. Attach four (4) of the #8 screws to the wall as marked on the template leaving the screw
heads 1/8″ (3.2mm) from the surface of the wall or use concrete anchors.
4. To ensure the screws are in the proper place, install the Vroom Garage Vac (without the
tool caddy attached) by aligning the keyholes on the back of the unit with the screw
heads on the wall. Push down on the
Vroom Garage Vac to secure it in place.
If the vacuum is loose you will need to
tighten the screws further.
5. Remove the Vroom Garage Vac from the
wall and attach the tool caddy by sliding the
“dove tails” on the bottom of the caddy into
the grooves on top of the unit (Figure A).
You will hear a click when the pin on top of
the housing clicks into the corresponding
hole on the tool caddy. Install the Vroom
Garage Vac with the tool caddy onto the
screw heads as described in Step 4. If
needed, you can install another screw
through the top hole in the tool caddy.
6. Place the hose retainer on the front of the
Vroom Garage Vac by attaching first the
double sided tape to the retainer. Make
sure that the radii match the retainer
radii, and press on firmly.
NOTE: The hose retainer will fit onto the
front panel only if you can read the
“Warning” impression correctly (Figure A).
7. Check to be sure the filtration bag, motor
filter (located under the filter bag) and
exhaust filter (at bottom of unit where
air exhausts) are properly in place (see
page 9 & 10). NOTE: The motor filter
should be laying flat in all four corners.
To install the wand holder, see the next page.

Mounting Instructions for Vroom Garage Vac Model GH-120
Surface Mounting to Drywall Surfaces (1/2″, 13mm, thick)
1. For maximum coverage, choose a wall or surface that is located close to the garage door
and has an electrical outlet close by.
2. Use the paper template from the back page of this instruction manual, and tape to the wall or
surface. Vroom Garage Vac must be installed a minimum of 3″ (75mm) from the floor for the
exhausting air. Align the template so that the 2 vertical center points of the template are
aligned over the centerline of a 2x4 stud behind the drywall for additional stability. Use a
level for alignment.
3. With an awl or similar pointed object, mark the center of the key holes accurately. Carefully
remove template from the wall and place with this manual for future reference.
4. Using a 3/32 drill bit, pre-drill all 4 holes.
5. Using a 5/16 drill bit to enlarge only the
2 holes which go through the drywall
without the stud support. These are the
holes that require 2 drywall anchors.
6. Squeeze the two arms of the plastic
anchor together and insert through the
hole. Very lightly hammer the anchor
flush with the drywall surface.
7. Insert the red key-pin and push firmly
to toggle the anchor open behind the
drywall. Remove red pin.
8. Attach all four #8 screws through the
marked keyholes. Keep the screw
heads 1/8″ from the wall surface.
Follow steps 4 - 7 from Page 4 to
complete installation.
• For wood surface use the
2 screws supplied with
the wand holder package.
• For dry-wall use two 1-1/2 long
screws from the fastener package.
NOTE: The wand holder should be
mounted against a wall stud for extra
strength.
