Care and Maintenance
Your Beam Built-in Vacuum comes with a
lifetime limited warranty (see complete
warranty details elsewhere in this pamphlet).
It will give you a lifetime of trouble-free service
by following some simple guidelines:
• Motor never needs lubrication. Bearings are
permanently sealed and lubricated.
• Motor brushes should be checked by your
authorized Beam dealer after 500 hours of
use.
• Power unit can be dusted off with a clean,
soft
cloth.
Caution: do not use liquid
cleaners or water as an electrical shock
may
occur.
• Do not tamper with power unit. Do not place
anything on top of power unit as this could
restrict cooling air to the motor, causing the
motor to overheat
• Do not attempt to pick up anything that will
not go through the cleaning tool or hose
end. Do not use the system to pick up
construction
debris.
• Do not attach anything else to the system’s
electrical power source. Be sure that a
properly-sized protected circuit is used for
your
unit’s
electrical requirements. Consult
your
authorized
Beam dealer for the correct
size.
• After removing the hose from the inlet, hold
the inlet door open for a few seconds to
help clear dirt from the vacuum tubing and
make sure the power unit has been turned
off.
• To ensure proper cleaning, use only one
inlet at a time.
• If service is ever required, have it performed
by your authorized Beam dealer.
