When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC
SHOCK OR INJURY:
• Unplug and disconnect power before servicing.
• Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used
by or near children.
• Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufacturer’s
recommended attachments.
• Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If appliance is not working as
it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into
water, return it to an authorized servicing dealer.
• Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle, close a door on cord,
or pull cord around sharp edges or corners. Do not run appliance over
cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
• Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
• Do not handle system or appliance with wet hands.
• Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
• Do not use on wet surfaces.
• Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any opening
blocked. Keep openings free of dust, lint, hair, and anything that may

GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded.
If it should malfunction or break
down, grounding provides a path of
least resistance for electric current
to reduce the risk of electric
shock. This appliance is equipped
with a cord having an equipment
grounding conductor and grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged
into an appropriate outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
WARNING
Improper connection of the
equipment-grounding conductor
can result in a risk of electric
shock. Check with a qualified
electrician or service person if
you are in doubt as to whether the
outlet is properly grounded. Do not
modify the plug provided with the
appliance. If it will not fit the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
Models TCS-5525 & TCS-8575 are
for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit
and has a grounding plug that looks
like the plug in Fig. A .
Make sure that the appliance is
connected to an outlet having the
same configuration as the plug. No
adapter should be used with this
appliance.
CONNECT TO A PROPERLY GROUNDED OUTLET ONLY.
SAVE THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Intended For Household and Light Commercial Use. Do not vent into a
wall, a ceiling, or concealed space of a building or structure.
WARNING:
Electric shock could occur
if used on wet surfaces.
CAUTION:
Do not use on a
wet rug or floor.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Do not store objects on top of the power unit. This will block the motor cooling
ventilation. Restricting the cooling airflow may shorten the motor life.
The central vacuum is designed to vacuum ordinary household dirt and
dust. The system is designed for dry pickup.
The central vacuum system is a network of inlet valves, 2” PVC tubing, and
low voltage wiring installed in the walls of your home. The dirt is transported
through the in-wall tube system back to the dirt canister (located on the
power unit).
REGISTRATION
To register your TITAN system warranty in the United States and Canada,
register online at www.cvacregistration.com or fill out and mail the
warranty card located with this manual.
Proof of purchase or registration of the TITAN System is required before
any warranty work will be performed by an authorized dealer. Registration
ensures a fast and easy resolution to your warranty requirements.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Using the central vacuum system is easy. For standard systems, simply raise
the inlet valve lid, insert the hose end and attach the desired cleaning tool to
the hose wand. The power unit is activated when the hose is inserted into the
valve. Please refer to accessory instructions for further specifics on usage.
GENERAL POWER UNIT MAINTENANCE
The simple care and maintenance instructions included here will help
ensure trouble-free use of the central vacuum system.
• Do not place objects on top of the power unit. The motor could overheat.
• Do not allow the motor to remain ON unless a hose is connected or an
inlet valve is open. If airflow is not permitted to flow through fan blades,
motor damage may occur.
• Do not operate without the filter in place.
• Change the filter cartridge once a year.
• Empty the dirt canister when it is 2/3 full.
• The power unit does not require any lubrication.
• The exterior of the power unit can be wiped with a clean, dry cloth. Do
not use liquid cleaners or water as an electrical shock may occur.
• For additional service contact the qualified servicing dealer written
on the front of this manual.

EMPTYING THE DIRT CANISTER & MAINTAINING THE
FILTER CARTRIDGE
The dirt canister is the removable lower portion of the power
unit. The canister needs to be removed and emptied when it is
2/3 full. The filter should be replaced once a year.
NOTE: When the dirt canister is removed the cyclonic cone will be visible.
The cone is held in place with a friction seal designed to hold the cone to
the body of the power unit when the canister is removed. The cone can be
removed by pulling on it. This allows access to the filter.
Follow These Steps (refer to Figures 1-4)
Make sure the power unit is OFF.
1. Unlatch and remove the dirt canister. Latches are located on opposite
sides of the power unit. (Fig. 1)
2. Remove the cyclonic cone. (Fig. 2)
3. Turn the filter latch (counter-clockwise) on the bottom of the filter and
align it with the slots in the filter base. (Fig. 3)
4. Remove the filter and gently tap it on the inside of the dirt canister to
remove the loose dirt and debris. The filter should be replaced at least
once a year. If it is time to replace it, model TCS-5525 uses filter 8106-01
and model TCS-8575 uses filter 8107-01. (Fig. 4)
5. Lock the filter in place by turning the filter latch clockwise until you feel
it snap. (Fig. 3)
6. Dispose of the dirt and debris captured in the dirt canister.
7. Seat the cyclonic cone in the dirt canister.
8. Raise the dirt canister to the base of the power unit and engage the
latches. Be certain the dirt canister is seated properly to the gasket on
the body of the power unit.

TROUBLESHOOTING THE SYSTEM
Motor Fails to Turn on
If the system fails to turn on when engaged, check the following:
• Check the main fuse or circuit breaker at the main power supply panel of
your home. Reset breaker or replace fuses if necessary.
• Check the power unit reset button located above the power cord.
Pressing the button should restore operation.
• If the circuit protector continues to trip off after a short period of time,
the motor brushes may be worn out. Contact the qualified servicing
dealer written on the front of this manual.
Loss of Vacuum
If the system shows a loss of vacuum power, check the following:
• The dirt canister may need cleaned or the filter may need replaced –
Follow instructions in this guide on page 7.
• The hose may be clogged – To check if there is an obstruction, unplug the
hose and insert an object that is smaller then the diameter of the hose (a
butter knife works well). Pass the object completely through the hose, if
it stops, that will indicate where the obstruction is located. A dry garden
hose can be inserted into the hose to help push the obstruction through.
• The dirt canister may not be properly seated to the gasket – Follow
instructions for replacing the dirt canister on page 7, Step 8.
• Tube lines may be obstructed – First check the 90° elbow located directly
behind the inlet valves, if an obstruction occurs it will usually not make
it past this elbow. If the obstruction is not visible at the elbow, attempt to
purge the tubing at each inlet valve. To do this, connect the hose and use
your hand to stop airflow at the end of the hose for a couple seconds, let
airflow resume. Repeat if necessary.
• If necessary, contact the qualified servicing dealer written on the front of
this manual.
Obtaining Service Under Warranty: To obtain repair on warranted parts,
contact the seller of the system with the power unit serial number.

doute concernant la mise à la
terre de votre prise, veuillez faire
vérifier votre installation par un
électricien qualifié ou une personne
du service après-vente. Ne pas
modifier la fiche fournie avec
l’appareil - si la fiche ne se branche
pas à la prise, faites installer une
prise adéquate par un électricien
qualifié.
Les appareils, modéle TCS-5525
& TCS-8575 doivent être employés
avec un circuit de 120 volts et avoir
une prise qui ressemble à la prise
illustrée sur I’image A.
Vérifiez que votre appareil est
branché sur une prise ayant la
même configuration que la fiche
électrique. Aucun adapteur ne
devrait être utilisé avec cet appareil.
