Hose Hook-up & Inlets
Before operating your central vacuum…
Please verify that it is properly connected to the piping system, and to a grounded electrical outlet, and that the low voltage wires are connected to the unit (see pages 8 to 16). Then read the complete owner’s manual and proceed with a quick verifi cation of your unit’s installation:
• Check fi lters to be sure they are properly installed.
• Check rubber seals in each vacuum inlet.
• Plug the hose alternatively into each vacuum inlet, to ensure that each one works properly.
• While the hose is still plugged into one inlet and the system is operational, check other inlets for leaks.
To start your central vacuum, simply insert the hose in the vacuum inlet of your choice. Please ensure that the tab on the hose end is properly lined up with the slot in the inlet opening (fi gure 16). If your hose handle has an integrated on/off switch, simply slide the switch to the “on” position.
Do not try to open another inlet while your system is in operation, as it may damage the inlet’s rubber seal.

Operating Instructions
Speed Variation Hose
(DL Series Only)
Exclusive to Cyclo Vac, the Speed Variation hose allows the selection of 4 power levels by the simple slide of a switch on the hose handle. The light emitting diodes on the “Speed Variation” hose indicate the power level chosen. Flashing diodes inform you that the time has come to empty the receptacle or clean the fi lters. Refer to the maintenance suggestions module or the integrated system monitor on the unit itself (see pages 23 and 24).
WARNING
The use of an “SV” hose with a vacuum unit
other than that of the Cyclo Vac DL “SV” series will cause irreversible damage to your hose which would not be covered by the warranty.
Progressive Start and Delayed Stop
(DL Series Only)
Each DL model is equipped with a special module allowing for a smooth and gradual start-up of the vacuum system, to prolong motor durability. It will also come to a complete stop within a few seconds after it has been turned off, to allow for the complete evacuation of dust from the hose.

Maintenance Suggestions Module
(DL Series Only)
Cyclo Alert
Your unit is equipped with an electronic timing board that will suggest, by the color of the blinking LED, the type of maintenance that should be done. These signals are only suggestions and do not indicate a problem with your unit.
Your central vacuum will work normally despite the fl ashing LEDs. When you initially connect your unit, the LEDs will be green and steady. When the LEDs on the hose handle blink, no matter the color, refer to the unit itself for status. It may be time to change the fi lters, empty the dirt receptacle and/or have the motor(s) inspected.
