Installation
Unit Installation
Using the mounting plate provided with
your unit, secure it to the wall (gure 1),
at a height allowing easy access to change
the bag or empty the dust canister.
The connections to the piping system will
require some basic tools: a mitre box and
small saw or a pipe cutter (gure 2). See
pages 8 and 9 for general instructions
pertaining to the preparation of PVC pipes.
To simplify matters, installation kits are
available at your CycloVac dealer.
Contrary to all other connections in the
piping system (except the connection
between the collector and motor),
do not glue the last tting to your unit.
Cyclo Vac dust collectors are equipped
with an adjustable air intake valve (gure 3),
which does not require glue. An air-tight t
is obtained with the screw-type adjustment
on the tting itself.

Dirt Receptacle
Occasional maintenance of the dirt receptacle is necessary to ensure constant,
lasting performance. We recommend that it be emptied at least every season,
depending on frequency of use. To empty the collector dust receptacle, disconnect
your HD motor from its power source. Then, release the two clamps and empty
the recipient. Reseal the receptacle in place.
gure 14
gure 15
gure 13
Regular maintenance of the ltration system is
recommended to ensure maximum performance of your
central vacuum system.
Your Cyclo Vac system collector is equipped with two
lters. The anti-clogging lter (thin fabric) stops the larger
particles, and the thick lter catches the microscopic
particles. Both lters are washable in cold water (no
bleach) and can be dried at low temperature.
1. To remove the lters, rst remove the dust receptacle
(gure 13).
2. Then, use the straps at the base of the lters to
withdraw (gure 14) We recommend cleaning the anti-
clogging lter (thin fabric) every time the dust receptacle
is emptied. You may either shake it out, or wash it. The
thick lter should be cleaned after four anticlogging lter
cleanings, or approximately once a year.
3. Both lters must be completely dry before they are
reinstalled. Carefully install them in the support grooves
(gure 15) on the lter frame to ensure adequate
protection of the motor. Install the thick lter rst,
and the anticlogging lter (thin fabric) over.
Inspect the lters for tears and punctures before
reinstalling them. Do not reinstall damaged lters.

Troubleshooting
Collector with electrostatic Bag
Replace the bag when full. Frequency will depend
on use of the unit.
1. To access the bag, unlatch the two clips and
remove the dust receptacle (gure 16).
2. Remove the used bag and seal bag opening
(adhesive seal provided on each bag). Discard
used bag.
3. Install the new bag, ensuring the tabs on the
bag adaptor are aligned with the slots in the bag
collar (gure 17).
4. Ensure adequate sealing by inserting bag as far
as retention ring (gure 18).
Rotate bag 20° (gure 18) to ensure tabs on
bag adaptor are no longer aligned with the slots
in the bag collar.
5. Put the dust receptacle back in place and seal
by latching both clips.
Only use genuine Cyclo Vac replacement bags.
Failure to do so could void the warranty on
your collector.

For a normal use, we recommend a regular maintenance of your dust canister, to
ensure the maximum performance of your system.
1. To empty the collector dust receptacle, disconnect the HD unit from its
power source.
2. Release the two clamps, remove the dust canister, and empty it (gure 13A).
3. If the guard screen (wire netting) looks blocked, clean it with a scrubbing
brush (gure 13B).
4. Put the dust canister back in place and seal by latching both clips.

General Information
Your vacuum cleaning system is designed to collect everyday dry matter (dust).
It is approved by authorized testing agencies for dry use only. Do not use on wet
surfaces.
Should you accidentally vacuum liquids, immediately unplug the HD unit from the
electric outlet, then empty and wipe the collector dust recipient with a dry cloth.
Then operate the system from the vacuum inlet through which you vacuumed the
liquid, in order to eliminate all moisture in the piping system.
We strongly recommend against vacuuming abrasive materials such as cement,
plaster and gyproc dust. This ne dust could cause considerable damage. Should
you do so inadvertently, immediately clean the lters (if applicable) and, as a
precautionary measure, contact your authorized service center to determine the
extent of the damage to the unit.
Remember that in order for your warranty to remain valid, maintenance of the
motor and repairs to the unit itself must be carried out by an authorized service
center, using original CycloVac or Trovac parts.

Troubleshooting
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE CORRECTIVE ACTION
Decrease in suction
strength (cont.)
Blocked hose Plug the handle end of
the hose into the suction
inlet, thus reversing the
suction in the hose.
Cover the gap around
the handle, to ensure
suitable suction strength,
and ensure contact with
inlet contacts to start the
unit. This should clear
the hose
Obstruction in the piping
system
Remove the screw from
the air intake connector,
to free the collector from
the piping system. Start
the system by plugging
the hose into a vacuum
inlet. By placing your
extended hand over the
air intake opening on
the collector, check the
suction strength on the
collector itself. If suction
strength is normal, the
obstruction is in the
piping system. If suction
strength is diminished
or completely absent,
have the unit and dust
collector checked by an
authorized service center.
If none of these suggestions restore suction strength, contact
your authorized service center.

Troubleshooting
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE CORRECTIVE ACTION
System will not start Faulty vacuum inlet Start the vacuum system
from other inlets in your
home, to identify the
defective inlet.
Defective on/off hose Turn the hose ¼ turn in
the vacuum inlet. If unit
starts, have the vacuum
hose checked by a
certied service center.
If none of these suggestions help start your system,
contact your authorized service center.
System will not stop Hose improperly inserted
into vacuum inlet
Ensure that the hose
end is properly placed
in the vacuum inlet: the
tab on the hose should
t into the slots of the
inlet, to ensure adequate
contacts for the hose
switch to function.
Defective on/off hose If the hose is properly
placed in the vacuum
inlet, and the unit
continues running
despite the fact that
the hose switch is in
the “off” position, have
the hose checked by a
service center.
If in spite of these suggestions, your system is still not stopping,
contact your authorized service center.
