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 UNIT1) DO NOT PLACE ANYTHING ON TOP OF THE POWER UNIT

1. Do not leave room when hose is plugged in to the inlet. Disconnect power before servicing.

2. Electric shock could occur if used on wet surfaces.

3. Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near children.

4. Use only as described in this manual. Use only those attachments that are recommended.

5. Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If applicance is not working as it should, has been dropped,

damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to a service center.

6. Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle, close a door on cord, or pull cord around

sharp edges or corners. Do not run appliance over cord. Keep cord away from heated

surfaces.

7. Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.

8. Do not handle plug or appliance with wet hands.

9. If your system is equipped with an electrical vacuum hose, do not use if damaged. Do not

pull hose around sharp corners, and keep hose away from heated surfaces. Do not run other

appliances over vacuum hose.

10. Do not unplug system by pulling on vacuum hose. To unplug, grasp the cuff, located on

the end of the hose. If you have a standard non-electric hose, pull out with a twisting motion. If your

hose is an electric hose with direct connect plug in, pull straight out.

11. Do not put anything into vacuum inlets or vents. Keep all inlets and vents free of things that

might slow airflow, such as lint, dust and hair. Do not use the vacuum system if something

is blocking an opening.

12. If equipped with an air turbine power brush unplug the vacuum hose before attaching

power brush. Keep fingers, hands and toes away from the base of the power brush. Failure to

do so could result in injury from moving parts.

13. Do not use the electric vacuum hose if it is damaged, cut or punctured. Do not pick up sharp

objects with the vacuum nozzle or hose. Hose may contain electrical wires.

14. In the event the power unit should get wet, do not use the vacuum system until it has been properly

serviced and examined by a serviceman or installer.

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

information.

CLEANING TOOLSCLEANING 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 INLETSVACUUM 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

andtrytoopenthedoorofanotherinlet,sincethiswilltendtopulltherubbergasketfromthedoor.

If inlet does not have remote on/off hose activated, leave door open for a few seconds after

removinghosefrominletsothe cyclonic filtration has time to shutdownanddebriscansettle 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 UNITVACUUM 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 beforebefore

beforebefore

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.

The mass of dirt and debris picked up by your central vacuum system is deposited in the dirt canis-

ter. The dirt canister is attached to the bottom of your power unit (single canister units) or filter

canister (if split system unit) and will need to be emptied on a periodic basis. To empty the dirt can,

follow these simple steps:

To remove the dirt canister, support the bottom of the canister with your knee*

(see figure 1a), then unsnap the two dirt canister latches by grasping the

lower end of each latch and pulling straight away from the canister. (Note:Note:

Note:Note:

Note:

The latches may be tight, but do not try to adjust them. They need to latch

tightly, to ensure a proper seal, which is important in the operation of the

cyclonic separation.)

Figure 1aFigure 1a

Figure 1a

Carefully lower the dirt container and empty the debris into any suitable trash container. (If

equipped with an air channel and plastic bag, see page 7 for more instructions.)

Check the vacuum pump protection screen by looking up or feeling up inside

the dirt canister to remove any debris that may have become stuck on the

screen up inside the metal cone. A plastic bag may be placed over the bottom

portion of the top canister. Then, while holding the plastic bag tightly around

the canister with one hand, push the bag up inside with the other hand and

brush the screen surface (see figure 2a). In this way, the screen can be

cleaned without getting any dust or debris on the floor or hands.

Figure 2a

Figure 3a

Replace the dirt canister by slipping the rim of the dirt canister over the lip of the top can until it

is seated against the rim gasket. Then while holding the canister in place with your knee* (see

Figure 1a), fasten the two latches. Do this by hooking the top lip of each latch over the rim of the

top can and then press straight in on the bottom of the latches until they lock.

TIPTIP

TIP::

: When cleaning the up inside the can, try using a toilet bowl brush or something similar.

This will allow you to reach up inside more easily than just by using your arm. Still use the

plastic bag, as this will keep the dirt from falling on you or your floor.

Some units may have an optional Electro-Static screen. To remove the screen, pull down on

the tab until the screen comes down through the metal cone. Clean the electrostatic screen

by vacuuming, rinsing with water, or shaking. IMPORIMPOR

: If you rinse the screen, make

sure it is dry before placing it back in the unit or it will void warranty. To replace the screen, fold

it and place it inside of the top of the metal cone. Then, allow the Electro-Static screen to

from the bottom of the unit. When replacing the lid, care should be taken to insure that it is placed

squarely on the top of the canister; otherwise, it will allow a vacuum leak.

Sealed paper bag units incorporate a two-layer disposable paper bag for superior filtration. These

paper bags are also inexpensive and easy to throw away making vacuum maintenance easy. The

mass of dirt and debris picked up by your central vacuum system is deposited in the filter bag inside

the dirt canister. To remove this accumulation, follow these simple steps:

Sealed PSealed P

Sealed Paper Bag Systemsaper Bag Systems

aper Bag Systemsaper Bag Systems

aper Bag Systems

Remove the lid by lifting straight up (figure 1d). There are no hinges or

clamps.

Remove the bag by sliding the rubber gasket that surrounds the hole

in the paper bag off the plastic inlet stem that protrudes through the

side of the canister (figure 2d).

Once the bag is off of the inlet stem, seal the bag by removing the

backing from the tab and cover the hole with the flap. Press the flap

so that it securely seals over the hole (figure 3d). This will help prevent

dirt and dust from escaping.

Now, lift the paper bag from the dirt canister and place in a suitable

trash container.

Take a new bag and extend it fully (figure 4d), place it in the canister,

and slide the rubber gasket onto the inlet stem until the rubber gasket

drops into place in the ridge that is around the inlet stem (figure 5d).

4Carefully replace the lid onto the dirt canister to ensure that it seals

properly or it could cause a vacuum leak and reduce the cleaning

efficiency of your system.

Remove the dirt canister by supporting the bottom canister with your knee*.

Then, unsnap the two dirt canister latches by grasping the lower end of each

latch and pulling straight away from the canister (see figure 1c).

Inverted bag units provide a permanent filter and require occasional cleaning. To clean the inverted

bag units, follow these steps:

Carefully lower the dirt canister, dump the contents into trash container

(figure 2c), and then set aside.

It is not necessary to remove the inverted bag to clean. A plastic bag may be

placed over the bottom portion of the top canister. Then, while holding the

plastic bag tightly around the canister with one hand, push the bag up inside

with the other hand, and brush/shake the bag surface to loosen any dust and

debris that may have accumulated on the bag (see figure 3c). In this way, the

bag can be cleaned without getting any dust or debris on the floor or hands.
