The dirt canister is the removable lower portion of the power unit. The canister needs to be removed and emptied when it is ¾ full. The motor guard screen should be cleaned each time you empty the dirt canister. The motor guard screen is located directly above the dirt canister inside the power unit. The guard screen is NOT removable. If the electric power brush does not activate, the problem may be within the power brush or within the electric inlet valve(s). Electric Power Brush Check the power brush reset button and, on some central vacuums, the neck-tilt-switch by listening for it to pop out just before the neck goes into the upright position.
