2.0 MAINTENANCE
Instructions in this manual serve as a guide to routine maintenance. Proper airflow and suction are maintained by keeping the
dirt bucket and filter clean, plastic tubing and hose free from clogs.
2.1 Motor
The Canvac QCLEAN central vacuum system is equipped with a flow-thru motor and will never need lubrication. Should you
experience any motor problems, please contact your local authorized dealer.
2.2 Dirt bucket and bag adaptor
Reduced airflow or suction indicates the central vacuum system is
not operating at maximum efficiency. If the dirt bucket is full and
the filter is clogged, air cannot pass through the unit limiting
performance.
To remove the Press & Release Bucket, clasp opposing positions on
the bucket ring, press with thumbs and pull down to remove bucket
and empty contents. (refer to Figure 7).
To re-install dirt bucket, lift the bucket back in to place until you
hear a “click”. The central vacuum system will not operate properly
if the dirt bucket is not installed correctly.
2.3 Optional disposable bag
Your vacuum may be equipped with a disposable filter bag, which can be discarded when full. A full filter bag will reduce
vacuum and minimize performance. Empty the filter bag 2-3 times a year depending, on how much dirt is collected.
Replacement filter bags may be purchased from a local authorized dealer
How to change the filter bag:
1. Remove the dirt bucket.
2. Remove the filter bag from the bag adaptor.
3. Put new filter bag in place.
4. Turn the filter bag’s opening to secure filter bag.
5. Re-install the dirt bucket.
2.4 HEPA filter maintenance
We recommend changing the HEPA filter after the dirt bucket
has been emptied three times, or after being used for one year,
whichever comes first. To replace your HEPA filter:
1. Open the HEPA filter door with button located on the side,
center of door.
2. Press down on tab at top of filter and discard the entire filter.
3. Insert the HEPA filter by inserting the two plastic tabs at
bottom of filter cartridge into the cavity of the HEPA filter.
Snap into place (refer to Figure 8).
4. Close HEPA door gently, without force. If the door does not
close easily, re-insert filter.
