Motor
Please note that Cyclo Vac motors do not require lubrication. Each motor contains two carbon brushes which will wear normally, and may eventually require replacement. For warranty purposes, this should be done by an authorized service center. Brush life is affected by the number of hours used, frequency of start-ups and shut-downs, humidity, altitude, and temperature. In order to avoid damage to the motor itself, brushes should be replaced before they are completely worn out. We therefore recommend that you have your unit and motors inspected by a service center every 5-6 years.
Dirt Receptacle
(Except E100 Model)
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 dust receptacle, fi rst disconnect your vacuum cleaner from its power source. Then release the two clamps, lower and empty the recipient, then replace it and seal by refastening the metal clamps.

Change the bag when the one in place is full. Frequency will depend on the use of the unit.
Line-up the notches in the bag collar with the tabs on adaptor (fi gure 17).
Insert the bag as far as the retention ring, to ensure airtightness.
retention ring
The disc-shaped fi lter (fi gure 18), located between the dust bag and the motor, should be changed once for every three bags (45 hours of use), or more often as needed.
Use only genuine Cyclo Vac replacement bags. Failure to do so could void the warranty on your vacuum unit.

Maintenance
We recommend regular maintenance of the fi ltration system, in order to ensure your central vacuum’s maximum performance.
Your Cyclo Vac central vacuum is equipped with two fi lters. An anti-clogging fi lter
(thin fabric) stops the larger particles, and a Cyclofi ltre (thick fabric) catches the microscopic particles and is treated with Ultra-Fresh* to prevent the growth of mold, fungus and bacteria. Both fi lters are washable in cold water (no bleach). Dry at low temperature.
To remove the fi lters, fi rst remove the dust receptacle (fi gure 19), then use the straps at the base of the fi lters to withdraw them
(fi gure 20). We recommend that you clean the anti-clogging fi lter (thin fabric) every time you empty the dust receptacle. You may either shake it out, or wash it. The
Cyclofi ltre (thick fabric) should be cleaned after four anticlogging fi lter cleanings, or approximately once a year.
It is important that both fi lters be completely dry before they are reinstalled.
They should be carefully installed in the support grooves (fi gure 21) on the fi lter frame to ensure adequate protection for the motor. Install the Cyclofi ltre (thick fabric) fi rst, and the anticlogging fi lter (thin fabric) over it.
Before replacing the fi lters, inspect them for tears or punctures. Do not reinstall damaged fi lters.

Carbon Dust Filter
(Patent pending)
(E300 and DL300 Only)
We recommend that you change this fi lter once for every three maintenances of the dirt receptacle (see page 26). For the DL300, the integrated monitor will indicate when to change this fi lter. These indications are provided by an electronic timing board, only as a reference guide.
To do so:
1. Unlatch the opening on the carbon fi lter case and gently fl ip it upward (fi gure 22).
2. Remove the used fi lter, and discard
(fi gure 23).
3. Insert the new fi lter. When doing so, please ensure that the arrow printed on the fi lter itself points outwards (fi gure 24).
4. Close casing opening, and latch.
