Default Connecting wires in the right way on a central vacuum

Hi !

I have two electrical cables. one has a red and black wire. The other
has a red,black,green and yellow wire.

I must attach the wires to two screws but I can't seem to figure out
how to connect the different wires together.

Thanks

I got confused trying to sort through the overwhelming amount of
information you provided about manufacturers and model numbers and what
the purpose of the cables might be, sorry...

Call manufacturer customer service for the installation guide. Then
hire an electrician, that way you won't void any warranty.

The wire colors do not matter! There is no "set" use of any particular wire
color for this or that. No one will be able to tell you what "colors" to
connect...

You need to understand the electrical circuit of the vacuum system. See what
color wires are connected at the main unit. And what color wires are
connected at junction points (if there is a splice along the way).

Read the instructions for the vacuum system. Or hire an electrical type if
you have difficulty learning about these things.

You's rather get the instructions here rather than (gasp) RTFM? A maroon
color is coming to mind. So does theft.
