IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using an electronic appliance, basic safety precautions should always be
followed. Read all guidelines before operating the unit.
To reduce risk of fire, electric discharges or injuries :
• Use this vacuum only for its intended use as described in this manual. (Use of
attachments not recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock,
injury or damage to system components.)
• Do not allow vacuum to be used as a toy. Close supervision is necessary when this
vacuum is used by or near children.
• Do not leave the unit running without any supervising. Disconnect the unit if it is not
used and before maintenance.
• The Cyclonik series is designed to pick up small quantities of liquids only, up to 16 L
(3.5 imp. gal.). However, models DV1R800 and DF1R630 cannot pick up any liquid.
• Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or
hot ashes.
• Do not pick up any flammable liquids or combustible materials (gasoline, fuel, diesel)
hot debris, waste solvents (paint or other), explosive materials that would cause
harm to the vacuum cleaner.
• Do not vacuum drywall dust or baking flour as it may cause damage to your vacuum.
• Avoid picking up hard or sharp objects to prevent damaging or block the hose and
the plastic pipes.
• Do not put any object into openings. Do not use if an opening is blocked. Keep free
of dust, lint, hair and anything that may reduce airflow/suction. Lack of air flow will
cause the motor to overheat.
• This vacuum cleaner creates suction. Keep hair, face, fingers, all body parts and
loose clothing away from any openings.
• Never operate without dust bag and/or filter in place.
• Never plug in a unit designed to operate with a current of 120V in a 230V outlet and
vice versa.
• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord available from
the authorized local dealer/distributor.
• Do not use extension cords or outlets with inadequate current carry capacity.
• Never operate this vacuum if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working
properly, or if it has been dropped or damaged. Return to authorized dealers/
distributor for repairs.
• Never handle plug, cord or power units with wet hands.
• Never disconnect plug by pulling cord. To disconnect from the outlet, grasp the plug,
not the cord.
• Connect to a properly grounded outlet only. See grounding instructions.
• Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
• Turn off all controls before unplugging.
• Hoses with electrical connections must not be used if damaged.
By overlooking safety rules, you might risk putting your health in danger and to those
who surround you!
Drainvac disclaims any responsibility should you infringe upon these guidelines.

INSTALLATION
- FIRST THINGS FIRST -
WHERE TO INSTALL THE UNIT
We recommend installing the system on the lowest level of the building to avoid having
to work against gravity. Dust and solids will fall easier than being pulled upwards, this
is why the basement is generally the most ideal location. If there is no basement, the
garage or a storage room will do.
MINIMUM DIMENSIONS AND SPACING
It is important to install the unit in a location where it will be easily
accessible for maintenance and to effectively evacuate dust. The
minimum spacing required is the following:
16 17
INSTALLATION INSTALLATION
Gypsum
Board
Wood
Panel
Wall Stud
• Attach the bracket to the wall with the 5 screws supplied with the head.
If the wall includes wall studs covered with gypsum board, we recommend
installing a wooden panel screwed to the wall studs beforehand for more stability.
Cut the
fastener
1) MOUNTING THE UNIT ON THE WALL
• Undo the fastener securing the wall bracket and base at the
back of the unit with cutting pliers.
Suggested distance from the floor:
50” (125 cm)
• Lift the unit and slide its
support onto the wall bracket.
2) CONNECTING THE
DUST INLET
• Connect the dust inlet onto the unit
securing it with a collar (do not glue).

All Cyclonik systems are supplied with Audioproteks,
except for models DV1R800 and DF1R630.
• Instructions on how to assemble the Audioprotek mufflers are included in a leaflet
inside the packaging.
4) AIR OUTLET
An air outlet leading outside the building is mandatory for all Cyclonik systems,
except for models DV1R800 and DF1R630, which you can install an Activac 3 filter.
MUFFLER
• Connect the air outlet to the unit, securing it with a clamp and install the muffler
with a second collar (do not glue).

with the supplied collar and insert
the Activac3 filter to the other end

by more powerful systems. Unlike plastic mufflers, this steel muffler must be
installed on the wall.
