Change the filter-bag when it is filled. Frequency will depend on how often you use the central vacuum. If you own a GX series model, the integrated LCD monitor will indicate when to change the bag.
To get to the filter-bag, remove the power unit's dust collector.*
Remove, seal (with adhesive seal on bag) and discard the used filter-bag.
Make sure the tabs on the bag adaptor are aligned with the slots on the bag collar as you install the new bag.
Insert the bag as far as retention ring. Then, rotate 20° to ensure tabs on bag adaptor are no longer lined up with the slots in the bag collar.
Reinstall the power unit's dust collector.
*If you own the GS110 model, rather then removing the dust collector, remove the power unit's top cover to change the bag.
You should also change the filter between the motor and dust bag (disc-shaped) at every three (3) filter-bag replacement.
Always use Cyclo Vac replacement bags. Failure to do so could void the warranty on your central vacuum power unit.
