MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING PROCEDURE
All mechanical systems require a minimum of maintenance, your system is
not an exception. Beyond the occasional external cleaning, we recommend
a complete inspection of the motor brushes after 500 hours of usage.
(1000ft /100 m2 represents 1 hour of usage for each use).
For a house approximately 2500 sq. ft./ 250 sq. m.
On average, the frequency of inspection is once every 3 to 5 years.
Also you must change the polyester filter & the dust bag periodically. This
will stabilise the efficiency of the unit and will cut down from 5 to 6 times
the maintenance of your unit.
Cleaning procedure :
1 - Detach the clamps, remove the lid from the unit.
2 - Remove and discard the dust bag and the polyester filter.
If you use a dust bag with a zipper, you can re-use it a few time all depending on the use
(Image A). The misuse of this bag may invalidate the warranty.
3 - Install a new dust bag & polyester filter (Image B).
You can install the zipper bag if the above conditions are respected.
4 - Reattach the lid to the main unit.
* IF THE UNIT IS USED WITHOUT ITS FILTERS, THE WARRANTY WILL BE VOID.

3 - Check the 24 volt circuit:
To check the 24 volt circuit, proceed as follow ;
- Establish the contact between the two ports of a wall mounted air inlet
valve with a piece of metal (ex. coin ( Image D )). If the system starts, the
suction hose is defective. See your dealer.
- If the system does not start check the 24 volt wires on the unit ( Image C2 );
Establish the contact between the two screws of the 24 volts circuit plate
using a piece of metal (ex. Screw driver ( Image E )). If the unit starts,
the 24 volt wire is either cut OR unplugged from one of the wall mounted
air inlet valves.
- If the system still do not start after steps 1, 2 and 3, the printed circuit is
defective. Call your dealer.
PROBLEM : The unit will not stop
