Dirt Devil Central Vac in 5'er?

QUESTION:

I got Dirt Devil Central Vac for Xmas and I'm not sure about several things. According to the instructions, I need to drill a 3" hole "Near" the vac system for 'ventilation' to the outside. I'm sitting here looking out at 6" of snow and thinking about a 3" vent down around my feet. Doesn''t make sense to me. Has anyone done one of these? Can you pass on any tips?

ANSWER:

My previous fiver had a central vacuuming system of a different brand. The motor was mounted in the pass-through compartment just under the stairs. There was a square vent in one of the stairs that, I guess, acted in that capacity.
FWIW, The little sucker, *didn't*. I pulled the plug on it and bought me a real vacuum cleaner when the professional carpet cleaner guy showed me a ton and a half of sand that he had sucked out of my carpeting
