CENTRAL VACUUM SYSTEMS

Your power unit is warranted against defective materials and workmanship but not against misuse.  There is a service
charge for repairing or replacing damaged or misused components of the system or for unnecessary service calls.
Your built-in system is a lifetime improvement for you and your family.  Follow these simple tips and you will enjoy
it for many years:
1) DO NOT PLACE ANYTHING ON TOP OF THE POWER UNIT

Allowing the dirt canister to fill up to the bottom of the plastic cone will nullify the cyclonic separator system
and could cause debris to be drawn into the upper screen which may, in time, damage your power unit.

3) USE ONE INLET AT A TIME TO MAINTAIN PROPER AIR FLOW

Do not pull liquids into the vacuum tubing since any liquid left in the tubing may:

a) Drain back out of the wall inlet and cause streaking of the walls.
b) Cause dirt build-up in the tubing that could eventually clog the system.

Wet Pick-up Units are available for this type of use.  Contact your local dealer.
