Your central vacuum system has been engineered for a long, trouble-free service life. Your
power unit is covered by a factory limited warranty that is enclosed with these instructions.
Please read your limited warranty carefully. If your owners manual came with a warranty
card, fill it out and return to the factory. You should fill out your registration card within ten
(10) days of installation and return to address listed on the card. This will validate our factory
warranty. Remember, your warranty does not cover abuse or misuse of the equipment.
If your owners manual did not come with a warranty card, contact your dealer for warranty

CLEANING TOOLS

CLEANING TOOLS - Since there are several tool kits available, the use and care of these
tools is explained in a separate booklet packed with each of the tool kits. It is very important to
utilize the tool that is designed to perform a particular cleaning job, in order to obtain full
efficiency from your system. Each of the tools and their designed use is explained in the
booklet packed with your particular tool kit. Also, other special carpet & flooring tools are
available, which are not included as part of the normal tool kits. A few of these are a vibrating
upholstery tool, a pet grooming tool, and a hand held air turbine. In addition, there are
accessories designed to allow you to safely pick up liquids with your cleaning system such as
the Wet Pick-Up. Each of these tools is available for purchase from your local dealer; if you
would like to know more about a certain tool, please contact them.

VACUUM INLETS

VACUUM INLETS - When opening the door of the vacuum inlet valve to insert the cleaning hose,
care should be taken not to distort the door by forcing it too far open. Do not turn the system on
and try to open the door of another inlet, since this will tend to pull the rubber gasket from the door.
If inlet does not have remote on/off hose activated, leave door open for a few seconds after
removing hose from inlet so the cyclonic filtration has time to shut down and debris can settle back
down into the dirt can. If the power unit continues to run after the hose is removed from the inlet,
the small ball which activates the low voltage switch at the inlet should be checked to make sure
it has not become lodged in some way. Should this not shut the unit off, disconnect the electrical
supply to the power unit and notify your local dealer or serviceman.

VACUUM POWER UNIT

VACUUM POWER UNIT - Your power unit does not require any oil. The bearings in the motor
are greased and sealed for life. The motor of the unit has contact brushes inside. As the unit is
used, the brushes will wear, even when functioning properly. Because of this, the brushes in most
power units will need to be replaced after 700 to 1,500 hours of use. Brush life is also affected
by humidity, altitude, temperature and the number of starts and stops. So, there is a wide spread
in the actual life of the motor brushes. On average the life of the motor brush, when used in a
normal manner, will be from ten to twenty years. The cost of replacing your motor brushes is not
great; but, the damage that can be done to the motor through not replacing the brushes before

before

they are completely worn out is considerable. We recommend that you have your unit and motor
brushes inspected by a qualified serviceman every 4-6 years.

OPERATING YOUR CENTRAL VACUUM

3. Circuit Breaker in House Panel - Check your house breaker panel - If the circuit breaker if off, you may have

too many appliances utilizing that circuit. For best results, your power unit should be on a separate circuit.

Try to remove some of the extra circuit load by unplugging other devices. If the breaker continues to cut off -

call your service technician.
4.

4. Internal Thermal Switch in Unit - If your unit comes equipped with an internal thermal switch and quits running,

it may require 10 minutes to cool off before resetting itself.
5.

5. Electrical Wall Outlet Plug - Sometimes the electric wiring from the house breaker panel to the wall outlet plug
can become loose or broken. Plug a lamp or another electric appliance into the outlet to assure that you are
getting power. If not, call your electrical contractor.
6.

6. Switch in the Wall Inlet Stuck in Off Position - Plug your flexible hose into the other wall inlets - if your unit
functions normally then the problem lies in the switch or remote control circuit to the inoperative inlet valve. The
bolts holding the micro-switch in the inlet valve may have loosened allowing it to move out of position. Remove
the wall inlet face plate and tighten the bolts or call your service man.
7.

7. Switch in the Wall Inlet Stuck in On Position - Use your finger to roll the steel ball located in the top of
the neck of the inlet. Some foreign material may have become lodged in the hole with the ball, preventing
it from moving into its proper position. Caution: if this procedure does not turn your unit off,

Caution: if this procedure does not turn your unit off,

unplug the power cord and notify your service technician.

8. Remote Control Wire - Broken - Usually, if more than one wall inlet is inoperative, the trouble is in the remote
control wiring, and the wire is either loose or broken, and should be tightened or replaced.
9.

9. Remote Control Wire - Shorted - Unplug one of the remote control wires that is attached to the side of
the power unit - if the unit stops, it indicates that the remote control wire is shorted or one of the wall inlet
switches is stuck in the on position. If the procedure for number 6 does not shut the unit off and you cannot
locate the short, notify your service man. If the unit does not stop running when you unplug the remote
control wire - either the short is in the power unit wiring or the relay is stuck. Refer to number 20. Caution:

10. Flexible Hose - Plugged - If proper airflow is not obtained through the hose, remove the hose from the
vacuum inlet, then start the power unit by activating the wall inlet switch. If the airflow, at the inlet, is good, then
this will normally indicate a blockage in the hose or wand. If blockage is in the wand, it can be disassembled
and cleaned. If blockage is in the hose, the hose should first be laid out straight, then with the hose plugged
into the inlet valve and the power unit running, pick up the hose, starting at the end furthest from the valve and
gently stretch about two feet of it at a time as you proceed along the length of the hose toward the inlet valve.
It this does not clear the stoppage, then remove the hose cuffs by unscrewing them, and switch them to the other
ends of the hose (these cuffs have left hand screw threads so rotate them in a clockwise direction to unscrew from
the hose). After this has been done replace the hose in the inlet valve and with the power unit operating, repeat
the process of stretching the hose. If this fails to unclog the hose, run (handle first) a screwdriver with at least a
3/4" diameter handle through the hose.

11. Tubing in Wall - Clogged - Check the airflow at the power unit. If the airflow is good here but not at locations
further from the power unit, your tubing is either clogged or has broken open. If you cannot repair this, contact
your service man. If you turn the power unit on and leave the inlet valve furthest from the power unit open and
then check the exhaust from the power unit, you can determine whether you have a break in the tubing or whether
the tubing is clogged. If very little air is coming out of the exhaust of the power unit, then it is probably an
obstruction in the tubing and not a break.
