Warranty Information

The power unit has a 48-month manufacturer's warranty covering parts only.

OPERATION

Your central vacuum system starts and stops automatically. To turn the system on, plug the hose into a wall inlet valve. To turn it off, remove the hose from the valve. The hose handle may be equipped with an optional on-off switch. It is used to control the start and stop of the power unit while the hose is plugged into an inlet valve. This allows you to control the system without unplugging the hose. Overload-protection reset button: The central vacuum system features an overload protection (circuit breaker) which can be reset should the motor be overloaded causing the circuit to open. If this occurs and the power unit fails to operate, depress the reset button which is located on the side of the power unit. If the protector continues to trip; contact the authorized service center nearest you. Inlet valves: Plugging the hose into an inlet valve completes a low-voltage (24-volt) electrical circuit which activates a relay and turns on the power unit. To turn off the power unit, unplug the hose from the inlet. When unplugging the hose, hold the inlet cover open for a few seconds to allow suction to decrease and protect the inner seal. An obstruction in the inlet valve may cause the power unit to continue to run after the hose has been removed from the inlet. To shut down the power unit, check all the inlet valves and remove obstructions.

Troubleshooting and error codes

If you experience trouble with your central vacuum system, follow the suggestions below before calling for service.
Partial/total loss of suction power
  • Be sure lid is on properly.
  • Empty dirt receptacle.
  • Clean cartridge filter.
  • Be sure each inlet valve is properly closed.
  • Check for hose obstruction.
Plug hose 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 instrument 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 dealer/distributor.
Power unit will not start
  • Push the safety overload protection reset button. NOTE: The safety device breaks the circuit if the motor is overloaded.
  • Check for blown fuse in main house electric supply box.
  • Unplug the power unit from the electric supply and check all wall inlet and motor wiring connections for loose wires. NOTE: The motor compartment is removable for servicing; refer to the assembly instruction sheet for procedure.
Power unit will not stop
  • Check inside each inlet valve for obstruction of low-voltage contacts. If no visual obstruction can be detected, disconnect the cleaner from the power receptacle and contact your nearest service station/dealer.
