GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and or dinances.
WARNINGImproper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance – if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper cutlet installed by a qualified electrician.
The Model CV950/CV950LE appliance is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in FIG. A.
Make sure that the appliance is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this appliance.
WARNING:ELECTRIC SHOCK COULD OCCUR IF USED ON WET SURFACES.
CAUTION:DO NOT USE ON WET RUG OR FLOOR.
CV950/CV950LE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Inserting hose into valve (Fig. B). Lift lid on valve. Power unit will automatically come on. Insert hose into valve. Connect desired attachment and you are ready to vacuum.
Changing Bag (Fig. B). To keep your CV950/CV950LE at top efficiency, change the filter bag at regular intervals. Since cleaning schedules differ, check frequently in the beginning to determine proper interval. To maintain cleanability, replace filter bag when it is 2/3 to 3/4 full.
To Change the Filter Bag (Fig. B) – Locate canister, lift lid, and pull bag collar off connector. Open new bag, (expand pleats by gently pulling on bag), slide collar securely onto inlet connector. (See Fig.B.) Replace with Bag #7767. To reorder, check bag for instructions or contact:H-P Products, Inc.512 West Gorgas StreetLouisville, Ohio 44641-0912330-875-5556
To remove Secondary #4929 Filter & #4928/4934 Filter Supports for Cleaning (Fig. B). Take out bag 7767, pull Support 4934 off connector and out of canister. Take out 4929 & 4928. For reassembly, follow instructions in reverse order. NOTE: 4929 Filter wraps to front of 4928 Filter Support (Fig. B).
NOTE: This appliance has a THERMAL PROTECTOR built into the motor to prevent overheating. If motor will not operate, pull power cord plug out of receptacle -re-insert to reset.
If motor brushes or bearings are worn out, the thermal protector will trip off again after a short period of time. If this happens, service for this and any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.
CV950/CV950LE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: This unit must be installed in an accessible area with interior vent (Fig D).
The DIRT DEVIL® CV950/CV950LE can be installed in any one of four configurations. Figures C, D & E illustrate three configurations, with C being the most common. The one not shown is a variation of D.
1. Locate unit centrally so that area to be cleaned can be conveniently reached with standard 20′ or 30′ hose. Also locate near grounded electrical receptacle for easy plug-in connection of motor cord. Route supply cord so that it doesn’t rest against sharp edges or pinch points. See grounding instructions on page 3.
2. All dimensions below are approximate. To determine best configuration for your installation, temporarily install unit for best valve location. Be sure there is clearance to remove top cover and filter bag.
3. Determine valve location and cut 2 ¼” (58mm) wide x 3¾” (95mm) high opening, 9 7/8″(251mm) above the floor (Fig C) for upright canister position or 1¾” (45mm) above floor for horizontal canister position (see fig D).
Do not vent into a wall, ceiling or concealed space of a building or structure. Unit must be vented with interior vent or equivalent (see fig D).
5. Place the CV950/CV950LE canister in its approximate location before installing inlet valve (4940), mounting plate (4865), and inlet reducer (5531)(see fig.e).
6. Inlet valve switch should be wired at this point for convenience (See Figure E). Insert pre-stripped ends of 18-2 (1.00 mm -2) low voltage wire into holes on back ofinlet valve (4940), press in firmly and wires will lock automatically. Pull lightly to test for locking Connect other ends of wire from inlet valve to wire leads from relay (7090) with wire nuts provided.
7. Install inlet reducer (5531) to inlet connector (7464), glue if needed. Assemble inlet valve to wall with mounting plate (4865) using the four screws provided (see Figure E). Also, tabs on mounting plate should face away from inlet valve.
8. Secure unit to floor and or wall with mounting bracket(s) (7768) provided. Place square heads of mounting bolt in “C” channel of canister. Tighten nut to hold bracket(s) in desired location. Anchor leg of bracket to floor/wall with wood screws provided.
9. Plug in power cord from motor unit to nearby electrical receptacle Route power supply cord so that it doesn’t rest against sharp edges or pinch points. The CV950/CV950LE unit operates when the inlet valve lid is lifted.
VACPAN™ OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Simply switch on the VacPan automatic dustpan by pushing the raised tab with your foot. Switching on the VacPan activates your central vacuum. Brush dirt and debris toward the VacPan. When cleaning is complete, switch off the VacPan and the central vacuum system by pushing the raised tab with your foot.
VACPAN INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Part #7710
- VacPan requires a minimum 2-¼” toe kick height.
- Once the VacPan location is determined, cut 6-¾” long x 1 ¾” high slot in the cabinet toe kick to accept the VacPan.
- Run vacuum tube piping and low-voltage wire from the main piping line to the VacPan location.
- Access for final piping connections must be made. From below, cut an access hole underneath the cabinet, positioned so that final piping connections can be made through the access hole. Allow for ½” vertical play in vacuum tube piping at VacPan location so that final piping connections can be made.
- Attach low-voltage wire to the VacPan terminal connections marked low-voltage only.
- Prior to final installation, check for an airtight seal between the VacPan and elbow. Teflon tape may be used if required.
- Slide VacPan into mounting slot and secure to toe kick using the two #6 screws provided.
- Reach through access hole and make final piping connections.
VACPAN II OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Part #7981The VacPan II can be used as both an automatic dustpan and a standard hose inlet.
For automatic dustpan operation, slide top cover up, creating a sweep opening and automatically switching on central vacuum system. Sweep material to opening. When complete, slide top cover down, closing opening and automatically shutting off central vacuum system.
For standard hose inlet operation, ensure top cover is in fully lowered position. Grasp side finger grips in top cover and flip top cover up. The top cover will lock out of the way. Lift sprung flapper door open and insert central vacuum hose. Use your central vacuum hose as you would with any other standard inlet valve.
VACPAN II INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
- VacPan II can be installed inside any wall with a minimum stud width of 2-¾”.
- VacPan II should be located against wall stud.
- Once the VacPan II location is determined and prior to applying the wallboard, attach Standard Mounting Bracket to the wall stud so that the center of the mounting plate is 4″ above the sub-floor.
- Attach VacPan II base stopper bracket, thereby allowing appropriate space for final installation.
- Run vacuum tube piping and low-voltage wire from the main line to VacPan II location and attach to mounting bracket.
- Allow other trades to complete construction including finished flooring and trim.
- Snap off two protruding tabs of VacPan II base stopper bracket and discard.
- Align VacPan II with mounting bracket. Height adjustment may be required depending on finished floor.
- For VacPan II height adjustment: The body can be shortened by scoring along Quick-Trim Grooves on back of body. The two piece front cover can be adjusted for height by twisting apart and engaging the mating teeth of the two parts. The VacPan II Entrance Ramp can be slid on mating body grooves.
- Attach low-voltage wires to VacPan II terminal connections.
- Slide VacPan II into mounting bracket and secure to wall using two 10 x 1-½” screws.
