Take your vacuum apart, remove the motor from the suction device, and replace it with a legal motor as close as possible to the suction motor.

You could also use a venturi device off the pneumatics system, but that's not going to work nearly as well.


Where you went astray was cutting off the rest of that line about COTS. The full line reads, "Drive motors or fans that are part of a motor controller or COTS computing device", which a vacuum is NOT.
