Vacuuming

Inserting the hose

The hose connects to the system through the utility valve 

inlet on the front of the unit by lifting the door open and 

inserting the hose. (Fig. 1)
See below for using your attachments & cleaning tools.

On/Off Switch

Insert the hose before turning the unit on.  

The system is turned on and off by flipping 

the switch on the side of the unit.

Blowing

The exhaust will operate as a light blower for your shop 

or garage. This feature does not replace a leaf blower. 

(Popping noise & some air leakage is common.)

To operate the blowing feature:

Attach the hose to the black Exhaust/Blow Stem located 

on the side of the unit.  (Fig. 2)

For this feature to operate, you must also open the utility 

valve on the front of the unit and insert the additional 

cuff that is included with your system.  (Fig. 3)  This must 

remain inserted to hold the door open for the blow 

feature to work.
When finished, turn off the unit first, then remove both 

the hose and cuff from the two inlets.
