below before calling for service.

LOSS OF SUCTION POWER:
•
Be sure lid is on properly.
•
Empty dirt bucket.
•
Replace disposable paper bag, clean cloth filter or secondary paper and fiber
filter.
•
Be sure each inlet valve is properly closed.
•
Check for hose obstruction.
Plug hose coupling into any inlet valve. Then, as you check each of the other
inlet valves, raise the inlet cover and hold your hand over the opening to check
for suction. If there is normal suction at each inlet, then insert the hose into one
of the other inlets. If there is no suction through the hose at the second inlet,
the blockage is in the hose. To clear the hose obstruction, insert a blunt instru-
ment into the hose (garden hose, wood dowel). If there is one inlet valve without
normal suction and you have checked for hose blockage, then the blockage is in
the pipe system between the blocked inlet valve and the power unit (see
instructions below).
•
Clear blockage in pipes
Insert the hose into the inlet valve where there is no suction; hold your hand
over the hose end. Release hand quickly. Repeat several times. If blockage
does not clear, contact your nearest service station/dealer.

The power unit should be located as far away from the general living area as possi-
ble, yet accessible so you can remove the dirt bucket, reach the filter, and inspect
the power unit. A typical location would be in a garage where you could vacuum your
car or garage area and where emptying the dirt bucket and cleaning the filter would
be more convenient. Other suitable locations are in the basement, laundry room, or
ventilated storage room. It is recommended that the exhaust be vented outside;
never into a wall, a ceiling, or a concealed space in the house.

Place the power unit within six feet of a grounded electric outlet. The unit requires
120 volt, 60 cycle AC power. Be sure you will not overload the circuit.

You are now ready to install the power unit. Be sure the power unit will be located at
least 12 inches from the ceiling and any adjacent wall and at least 28 inches from
the floor. The motor hood ventilation and safety relief valve should never be
obstructed. The unit must be mounted within 6 feet of a grounded electrical plug. Be
sure you will not overload the circuit. Check to be sure you will be able to remove the
dirt bucket, reach the filter, and inspect the power unit.
Compare the distance between the power unit mounting bracket and the wall studs
in the chosen mounting location. If the mounting brackets cannot mount the studs,
mount two lengths of boards horizontally on the studs; then mount the power unit.
Drill the holes and tighten the screws to hang the power unit. Align the power unit
intake fitting to the main trunk line projecting from the wall. Securely tape each
joint, using duct or electrical tape. DO NOT GLUE. Attach the exhaust pipe to the
motor exhaust if exhausting outdoors.
