With the power 
unit still on, bring 
the hose back to 
the area near the 
inlet valve.
Leave the 
vacuum 
running and 
disconnect 
the handle.
Move the 
locking 
mechanism to 
the unlocked 
position.
Regulate the retraction 
speed of the hose by placing 
the palm of your hand over 
the end of the hose, until it 
retracts itself completely into 
the valve.
Turn the system off after the hose 
is returned completely into the 
valve. If you turn the 
unit on with the RF 
handle, you must turn 
the unit off with the 
RF handle. If you turn 
the unit on with the
low voltage switch, 
you must turn the 
unit off with the 
low voltage switch.
Option 2 - Use the 
RF handle. Hold the 
switch in the “on” 
position until you 
hear the vacuum, 
and/or air flow. Then 
let go of the switch.
(Note: You will feel the hose stop when you get to the 
end. If the hose comes completely out of the wall, simply 
reinsert the hose several inches back into the inlet.)
(Note: The locking mechanism prevents the hose 
from retracting while you vacuum.)
