Insert the low voltage wires into the power unit’s low voltage terminal. Slightly pull on the low voltage wires to verify that they are properly fastened to the terminal.
To remove the wires:
• 4a (EZ connector): Gently press the tabs above each terminal with a screwdriver and pull the wires out.
• 4b (PIN connector): gently pull the connector out of the socket.

6. SYSTEM OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Your new system is ready to be used, here are some simple guidelines to follow when using your power unit:
• Insert the fl exible hose in one of the wall or fl oor vacuum inlets installed in your home;
• If you use a hose fi tted with a remote switch on the handle, use the interrupter on the hose’s handle to turn the power unit on or off .
7. SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
FILTRATION SYSTEM
In order to maintain good air quality in your home, the economical model vacuums dust into a disposable fi ltration bag attached to the unit’s air intake. This unit is also equipped with a support pad which protects the fi ltration bag in the vacuum chamber.
IMPORTANT
DO NOT vacuum gypsum dust, fl our, mud, or any sludgy materials as they cake onto the fi lter and obstruct the fi ltration system resulting in the over-heating of the motor and thus failure of the power unit to function properly.

IMPORTANT
This appliance MUST always be used with a disposable fi ltration bag; the bag is the only fi ltration system of the unit.
To replace the fi ltration bag:
1�
Remove the unit’s cover;
2�
Gently remove the used fi ltration bag from the
air inlet;
3�
Dispose of the used fi ltration bag;
4�
Take out the new fi ltration bag of it’s
plastic wrapping;
5�
Put it in place by gently inserting the extendible
rubber part of the fi ltration bag on the plastic
air inlet;
6�
Put the unit’s cover back in place.
NOTE
»
When replacing the fi ltration bag, make sure that the extendible rubber part of the fi ltration bag is neatly fi tted on the plastic intake pipe and that the unit cover is properly installed to prevent any suction loss�
MOTOR
All units are equipped with a soft-start control module and have a LED communicating the system status (see fi g. 4 in section 8 for more details on LED color interpretation). When the
LED changes to amber, it is time to make an appointment with a Husky certifi ed technician for a complete check-up of the unit. This mandatory maintenance will extend the life of the unit and keep the warranty valid. If it is still not carried out after 20 hours of additionnal operating, the device will automatically switch off as a safety measure.
All units also have a mini breaker (power cut-off ) directly connected to the module which protects the motor against an overload and prevents overheating.
HOSE HANDLE
Wipe the hose handle regularly with a moist towel to avoid buildup.

ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS
8. TROUBLESHOOTING
Failure of the power unit could be caused by:
• Inadequate power level (voltage / amperage) (ensure that power level complies with the power unit’s electrical requirements);
• Malfunction of the motor or control module.
Simple checks can often help you fi nd out why your power unit is inoperative. We invite you to verify the following before calling a service technician.
S
ITUATION
NO POWER
V
ERIFICATION
Check that the power unit’s electrical cord is plugged directly into a power outlet.
DECREASED
SUCTION
The power unit is equipped with a mini breaker (button on the side of the motor housing) which protects the motor against an overload. To reset the mini breaker, simply push the button. If the power goes off one more time, call a service centre near you.
Using a screwdriver fi tted with a rubber handle, touch both pins of the low voltage terminals (short circuit the 2 pins) on the side of the motor housing. If the power unit starts, the problem lies with the low voltage wiring (installed along the piping).
You should then verify if the 24 Volts circuit is adequately connected by checking each inlet. Open the inlet cover, touch the small contacts with the head of a pair of metal pliers with rubber handles. This will establish power and start the motor. Repeat for each vacuum inlet.
NOTE
»
If all vacuum inlets are functional and your fl exible hose is a low voltage technology handle, then there may be a defect in the cutoff switch of the hose or the hose itself�
Check the breaker on your electric circuit panel.
The fl exible hose may be blocked. If you cannot unblock it, try inserting the opposite end of the hose into the wall inlet; touch the contacts which are located on the inside of the inlet with the hose wand in order to start the power unit.
NOTE
»
Frame the inlet with your hands or a large enough piece of cloth (such as a towel) to ensure the maximum suction to unblock the hose�
Check that the cover on the unit is well in place and that the gasket is in good condition.
Check if the disposable fi ltration bag needs to be replaced.
Make sure all inlets are airtight.
If the pipes are visible in certain areas: check if the fi ttings are well glued and that there are no air leaks.
If the pipes should be blocked behind the walls, it is possible to determine where the blockage is located by starting from the furthest inlet from the central vacuum. Insert a tissue paper and check to see if the tissue paper reaches the dust canister. Repeat the same for each inlet.
LED INTERPRETATION GUIDE
All Husky power units with internal control module come with an explicative sticker (inside the module casing cover where applicable).
