TROUBLE-SHOOTING
If you experience trouble with your central
vacuum system, follow the suggestions below
before calling for service.
Partial/total loss of suction power
t Be sure lid is on properly.
t Empty dirt receptacle.
t Clean cartridge lter.
t Be sure each inlet valve is properly closed.
t 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).

Insert the hose into the inlet valve where there is no

t 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
t Check for blown fuse in main house electric supply box.
t If the green light is flashing, or does not light up, and the
motor does not start, the power unit could have
experienced a fault due to excessively high or low

standard operating voltage, high current draw, or a
locked rotor. It is also possible that the unit was powered
