the power unit, check all the inlet valves and 
remove obstructions. 

The hose handle may 
be equipped with an 
optional on-off switch 
or variable speed 
switch. It is used to 
control the start and 
stop of the power 
unit while the hose is 
plugged into an inlet 
valve. This allows you 

to control the system without unplugging the 
hose.

Motor Protection Shutoff

In the unlikely event that something causes the 
unit to turn on, or if the unit is unintentionally 
left on, your central vacuum has been 
developed with a motor protection shutoff. 
After 30 minutes of continual operation the 
power unit will automatically shutoff, preventing 
damage to the motor. To restart, remove the 
hose from the wall inlet and reinsert, the power 
unit should come back on.

Cleaning tools

The BEAM hose and attachment set comes 
with a telescopic wand and a variety of 
cleaning tools allowing you to clean virtually 
any surface from floor to ceiling. The tools can 
be used with the wand or directly on the hose 
handle. 

The combo tool is 
used for all-around 
floor and general 
cleaning and is used 
about 80% of the time. 
It allows you to move 
from carpets to hard 
floor surfaces without 
stopping by switching 
the convenient toe 
switch on top of the 
tool.

The round dusting 
brush makes dusting 
quick and easy. It can 
be used for furniture, 
counters, wall 
decorations, window 
areas, lamp shades, 
or wherever dusting is 
needed.

The upholster nozzle 
with slip-on brush 
is convenient when 
cleaning walls, 
furniture, curtains, or 
mattresses. It can be 
used with or without 
the slip-on brush.

The crevice tool is 
ideal for tight spaces 
and corners, such 
as in the kitchen 
and beneath/around 
cabinets. It is designed 
for narrow spaces, 
crevices, along edges 
or other hard-to-clean 
areas.

The snap-on, three-
tool caddy allows you 
to carry our most-used 
tools directly on the 
wand.

The hose hanger is 
used to easily coil and 
store the hose in a 
closet.
