GENERAL POWER UNIT MAINTENANCE
The simple care and maintenance instructions included here will help
ensure trouble-free use of your central vacuum system.
• Do not place objects on top of the power unit. The motor could overheat.
• Do not allow the motor to remain ON unless a hose is connected or an
inlet valve is open. If airflow is not permitted to flow through fan blades,
motor damage could occur.
• Do not operate without a disposable bag in place in models DB3000,
DB5000, DB7000, DB8000 & DB9000. Use disposable bag 9637 in model
DB3000 and 9520 in models DB5000, DB7000, DB8000 & DB9000.
• Empty the dirt canister/disposable bag when it is 2/3 full.
• The power unit does not require any lubrication.
• The exterior of the power unit can be wiped with a clean, dry cloth. Do
not use liquid cleaners or water as an electrical shock may occur.
