  • Page 5: General Information

    General Information Do not store objects on top of the power unit. This will block the motor cooling ventilation. Restricting the cooling airflow may shorten the motor life. The central vacuum is designed to vacuum ordinary household dirt and dust. The system is designed for dry pickup. A WetVac accessory is needed if the system will be used for liquid pickup. The central vacuum system is a network of inlet valves, 2” PVC tubing, and low voltage wiring installed in the walls of your home. To operate the system, simply plug the hose into an inlet valve, attach the cleaning tool to the curved hose end and begin vacuuming. The dirt is transported through the in-wall tube system back to the dirt canister (located on the power unit). Caution: Do not allow the motor to remain turned on, unless a hose is connected or an inlet valve is open.

  • Page 7: Troubleshooting The System

    Troubleshooting the System Motor Fails to Turn On: • Check the main fuse or circuit breaker at the main power supply panel of your home. Reset breaker or replace fuses if necessary. • Check the Power Unit reset button located above the power cord. Pressing the button should restore operation. • If the circuit protector continues to trip off after a short period of time, the motor brushes may be worn out. Contact the qualified servicing dealer written on the front of this manual or locate an authorized dealer on-line at www.dirtdevilproseries.com for service. Loss of Vacuum If the system shows a loss of vacuum power, check the following: • The dirt receptacle may need cleaned or the filter may need replaced – follow instructions in this guide. • The hose may be clogged – To check if there is an obstruction, unplug the hose and insert an object that is smaller then the diameter of the hose (A butter knife works well). Pass the object completely through the hose, if it stops that will indicate where the obstruction is located. A dry garden hose can be inserted into the hose to help push the obstruction through. • The Dirt Canister may not be properly seated to the gasket – Follow instructions for replacing the dirt canister. • Tube lines may be obstructed – First check the 90 degree elbow located directly behind the inlet valves, if an obstruction occurs it will usually not make it past this elbow. If the obstruction is not visible at the elbow, attempt to purge the tubing at each inlet valve. To do this, connect the hose and use your hand to stop airflow at the end of the hose for a couple seconds, let airflow resume. Repeat if necessary. • If necessary, contact the qualified servicing dealer written on the front of this manual or locate an authorized dealer on-line at www.dirtdevilproseries.com to perform required maintenance.
