Know before you buy
This motor is a direct replacement for units originally equipped with the 116471 or 6471 motor models. It is specifically designed to fit systems like the Vacuflo Maxum 200, Dust Care 3000C, and AirVac AV850.
No, this product is the motor unit only. It does not include mounting hardware, gaskets, or replacement filters, so you should retain your existing hardware during the installation process.
If you are comfortable with basic electrical repairs and have experience working with household appliances, you can likely perform the swap yourself. However, if you are unsure about wiring or safety procedures, we recommend consulting a professional technician to ensure the unit is installed correctly.
Compatibility is strictly tied to the specific model numbers listed. If your current motor is not marked 116471 or 6471, this unit may not fit or function correctly, and we recommend checking your vacuum's manual or the label on the existing motor before purchasing.
For the Dust Care 3000C, this motor is specifically intended for the bottom motor position. Verify the model number on your existing motor housing to ensure it matches the 116471 specification.
