INTRODUCTION
The power unit is located away from the everyday living areas of your
home – usually in the garage, basement, or utility room. Through a
network of strong, lightweight tubing, the power unit connects to inlets
strategically placed around your home. You attach cleaning tools to the
system's hose and insert the hose into the inlet. Inserting the hose
automatically turns on the power unit.
OPERATION
WARNING: To avoid electric shock, never use hose and tools on a
wet surface. To avoid fire hazard, do not use vacuum to pick up
matches, fireplace ashes, or smoking material.
When you are ready to clean, attach the wands and cleaning tool onto
the end of the hose. Open the inlet cover and insert the end of the hose
into the inlet.
For non-switched hoses: inserting the hose automatically turns on the
power unit; removing the hose shuts off the power unit. Some hoses have
switches which can be used to activate the power unit. NOTE: The inlet
located on the power unit does not automatically work when the hose is
inserted. To turn on the power unit inlet, use the rocker switch located on
the front of the power unit.
Use the cleaning tools as you would for any other vacuum cleaner.
Avoid picking up pine needles, popsicle sticks, and other similar objects.
These kinds of objects may become lodged in the hose or tubing.
VACUUM POWER CONTROL
The wand ends of the deluxe hoses are equipped with a control ring to
regulate suction. The control ring covers a “bleeder” hole. Open the hole to
reduce the suction for cleaning draperies, small rugs, and other light
fabrics. Some very thick, plush carpets with high density yarns also require
reduced suction to make the nozzle easier to push. Be sure to close the
control ring completely over the hole to produce the maximum power
required for most other cleaning tasks. (The economy hose does not have
a control ring.)
