Emptying The Debris Pail; Bag Replacement - NuTone VX475 Operating Instructions Manual

EMPTYING THE DEBRIS PAIL

(VX475C, VX550C & VX1000C)
Your power unit has a permanent filter that is self cleaning
under normal conditions. The filter protects the motor and
stops small dirt particles from escaping to the outside of the
power unit. The filter cleans itself by moving up when the
power unit starts, and dropping down when the unit is turned
off. The filter can be removed by means of a pull-tab for
cleaning if desired. Be sure to reinstall properly. Correct
placement is critical to insure proper protection for the
motor.
1. Release both carry handles on side of the unit by pulling
out and then pushing up. (FIGURE 1). Holding the pail by
the handles, lower it from unit (FIGURE 2).
2. Carry pail to trash receptacle and empty.
3. Reattach pail using handles.

BAG REPLACEMENT

(VX475, VX550 & VX1000)
Under normal conditions the bag requires changing
approximately twice a year.
When the amber light on front of the VX550 or VX1000
power unit illuminates, it indicates that the soil bag has been
in use for 24 hours, and should be changed. Red light can
illuminate at any time indicating bag is full. When the red light
illuminates, it is absolutely necessary to change the bag. Red
light will turn off motor on bagged units, preventing
premature bag burst. If your installation uses indicating
inlets or indication hoses, the light on the interior faceplate
of the inlet will also have changed to amber at this time as a
reminder to change the bag in the power unit. Follow
directions below to change the bag. Once you have changed
the bag and replaced the debris pail, press the reset
button on the control panel. The first green light on the light
indicator will come on.
If you have been vacuuming large quantities of pet hair, etc.,
you may need to replace your bag more frequently. If you
notice a loss of vacuum prior to the light changing to amber,
check your disposable bag and replace as needed. If
changing the bag does not correct the loss of vacuum, see
Troubleshooting Guide section on pages 8-9.
REMOVING A FULL BAG
1. Open the door on front of unit (FIGURE 3).
2. Lower bag holder by grasping tab and pulling out and
down (FIGURE 4). Holder will drop into bag removal
position (FIGURE 5).
3. Grasp top cardboard section of the full bag and slide bag
out approximately halfway until it detaches (FIGURE 6).
The dust trap at top of bag will automatically engage to
prevent any dust from escaping from bag. Slide bag
down and in and allow it to fall into debris pail (FIGURE 7).
4. Release both handles on each side of the unit by pulling
them out and pushing up. (FIGURE 8). Holding the pail
by the handles, lower it from unit.
