PACKING LIST
1 - Van-I-Vac unit
1 - Power Cord
1 - Hose Assembly
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Remove the unit and other parts from the box. Check against the packing list.
2. Plug the removable power cord into the socket labeled “POWER” on the top of the unit. Plug the other
end into a standard wall socket. Try the unit by turning the switch to the “ON” position.
3. The vacuum hose supplied slips onto the vacuum connection on top of the unit and the other end con
-
nects to the collection device desired. The ideal location for the unit is under the bench where the user
works. The hose may be shortened by removing the hose cuff from one end and carefully cutting with
a sharp knife. The hose cuff threads onto the hose with a left-hand thread. Longer hoses and adapters
are available from your dealer. We recommend that you try to keep the total length of hose less than 6
feet between the unit and the dust collection point; longer hose will reduce suction.
MAINTENANCE
1. Filter Bag Replacement
- When a noticeable drop in suction occurs with the unit or it shuts down or
the filter bag is two thirds full, replace the filter bag.
DO NOT
attempt to clean out the filter bag. Replace
with a new Vaniman filter bag. Change the filter bag by unscrewing the two thumb screws on the front
of the unit and pull out the front cover plate to expose the filter bag compartment. Remove the used
filter bag by sliding it off the inlet tube; the front of the cardboard reinforcement may need to be tilted
downward slightly to remove the bag easily. Check the inside of the filter bag compartment. If dust is
present please clean the compartment. Cause for residual dust may be due to improper installation.
Vacuuming the excess dust will increase the life of the unit. Changing the filter bag regularly will save
wear-and-tear on the motor. Re-order

2.
Installing a new filter bag
- Slip the cardboard reinforcement, with rubber seal, over the inlet tube.
You may need to tilt the front of the cardboard downward and slip the back edge up past the tube end,
then rotate upward over the tube end. Carefully tuck the edges of the filter bag into the filter bag com
-
partment. Replace the cover plate and gently tighten the thumb screws. Only gentle pressure need be
used to make the gasket seal; the vacuum pressure will draw the cover tight.
3. Circuit Breaker
- The unit is protected by a circuit breaker on the right side of the unit. In the unlikely
event there is an overload condition the breaker may trip. If this happens reset the breaker by pushing
on the white button until it clicks into place.
4. Motor Protection -
If the motor becomes too hot it will automatically shutoff to prevent damage. To
reset the thermal gauge, turn off or unplug the unit and allow the motor to cool down. Once it has cooled
you may turn it back on and continue use.
5. Motor Brushes
- This long life motor does not have replaceable brushes. Replacement motors can
be ordered as
