HOW TO USE CENTRAL VACUUM SYSTEM
Your central vacuum system is controlled by a switch on your hose.
Simply insert the hose into the valve and turn the switch to the on position.
This will start the power unit and the flow of air.
When you are finished, turn the switch on the hose to the off position
and remove the hose from the inlet valve. When unplugging the hose,
hold the inlet cover open for a few seconds to allow suction to decrease
thus, protecting the inlet valve seal.
