General Information
Do not store objects on top of the power unit. This will block the motor cooling
ventilation. Restricting the cooling airflow may shorten the motor life.
The central vacuum is designed to vacuum ordinary household dirt and dust. The system is
designed for dry pickup. A WetVac accessory is needed if the system will be used for liquid
pickup.
The central vacuum system is a network of inlet valves, 2” PVC tubing, and low voltage wiring
installed in the walls of your home. To operate the system, simply plug the hose into an inlet
valve, attach the cleaning tool to the curved hose end and begin vacuuming. The dirt is
transported through the in-wall tube system back to the dirt canister (located on the power unit).
Caution: Do not allow the motor to remain turned on, unless a hose is connected or an
inlet valve is open. If air is not permitted to pass through the fan blades, damage may
occur to the motor.

Operating Instructions

General Power Unit Maintenance
The simple care and maintenance instructions included here will help ensure trouble-free use of
the central vacuum system.
• Do not place objects on top of the power unit. The motor could overheat.
• Do not allow the motor to remain “on” unless a hose is connected or an inlet valve is open. If
airflow is not permitted to flow through fan blades, motor damage may occur.
• Empty the dirt canister when it is 3/4 full.
• Remember to clean the motor guard screen each time the dirt receptacle is emptied (refer to
Cleaning the Guard Screen instructions).
• The power unit does not require any lubrication.
• The exterior of the power unit can be wiped with a clean, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners
or water as an electrical shock may occur.
• For additional service contact the qualified servicing dealer written on the front of this manual
or locate an authorized dealer on-line at www.vacuflo.com.
