• The central vacuum system can also be turned on/tested by pressing the power button on the
power unit.
• Check each inlet valve for air leaks.
• Check each pipe connection for air leaks.

Before hanging the power unit on the wall, install either the muffler or the HEPA fi lter supplied with the
unit.
2.0 MAINTENANCE
Instructions in this book serve as a guide to routine maintenance. Proper airfl ow and suction are
maintained by keeping the dirt bucket and fi lter clean, plastic tubing and hose free from clogs.
2.1 Motor
The BEAM Alliance central vacuum system is equipped with a fl ow-thru motor and will never need
lubrication. Should you experience any motor problems, please contact your local authorized dealer/
distributor.
2.2 Dirt Bucket and Bag Adaptor
Reduced airfl ow or suction indicates the central
vacuum system is not operating at maximum
efficiency. If the dirt bucket is full and the fi lter is
clogged, air cannot pass through the unit limiting
performance.
To remove the Press & Release Bucket, clasp
opposing positions on the bucket ring, press with
thumbs and pull down to remove bucket and
empty contents. (refer to Figure 8).
To re-install dirt bucket, lift the bucket back in to place until you hear a “click”. The central vacuum
system will not operate properly if the dirt bucket is not installed correctly.
2.3 Optional Disposable Bag
Your vacuum may be equipped with a disposable fi lter bag, which can be discarded when full. A
full fi lter bag will reduce vacuum and minimize performance. Empty the fi lter bag 2-3 times a year
depending, on how much dirt is collected. Replacement fi lter bags may be purchased from a local
authorized dealer/distributor.
How to change the Filter Bag:
1. Remove the dirt bucket.
2. Remove the fi lter bag from the bag adaptor.
3. Put new fi lter bag in place.
4. Turn the fi lter bag’s opening to secure fi lter bag.
5. Re-install the dirt bucket.
