HOSE
- The hose should always
be stored on the hanger in large
loops. To prevent your hose
from tangling, and for maximum
convenience, pick your hose up
as shown in the drawing below:
Note: Never store your hose in a tight
coil or the hose will tangle.

OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES:
COMBO BRUSH
- With one  ip of a switch this tool can
be used for carpet as well as wood, tile or linoleum  oors.
Saves carrying around two separate tools!
CREVICE TOOL
- This tool is designed for inaccessible
areas, such as between the carpet and baseboards, or between
the carpet and  oor heaters.
DUSTING BRUSH
- This tool is used for general dusting
of window sills, blinds, books, door frames, base boards and
hard to reach areas.
ELECTRIC POWER BRUSH
- For carpets.
HOSE HANGER
- Hanger should be mounted near the
top of a closet door or at essentially the same height within
the closet. Since the system is used more in high traf c areas,
a nearby closet is preferable.
LINO/FLOOR BRUSH
- For laminate, hardwood, tile and
linoleum  oors.
RUG TOOL
- Strictly for carpet or area rugs.
TOOL CADDY
- Used to store tools. The hose, when
hung on the hanger, and the accessories in the kit take up less
room in the closet than most vacuum cleaners.
UPHOLSTERY TOOL
- With grooved head for use on
draperies, upholstery and stairways.
WANDS
- Two pieces must be used
for carpet or  oor cleaning. They may
not be necessary when using other
tools.
WALL VALVES OR FLOOR
VALVES
- When opening the door of
the vacuum inlet to insert the cleaning
hose, make sure you do not damage the
door by forcing it to far open.

POWER UNIT MAINTENANCE
- (for household use only)
- Most power units have a life expectancy of 700 to 1000 hours
under normal working conditions. The bearings in the motor are
completely sealed. They do not require any oil! The motor brushes
will wear if the unit is functioning properly. Brush life is affected by
humidity, altitude, temperature and the number of starts and stops,
so there is a wide spread life of the motor brush. In average home
use, the life of your motor brushes will range from 6 to 8 years.
Failure to replace motor brushes on time will damage the motor,
and increase repair costs considerably. If you are using your system
quite frequently you should have your motor brushes checked more
often. It is recommended that you change the  lter at the same
time. Service your vacuum system at an authorized Easy-Flo dealer
every 5 years to maintain your limited lifetime warranty.
REMOVING THE ACCUMULATED DIRT
- This applies
to models with the self-cleaning  lter. Dirt is picked up and
deposited in the canister attached to the bottom of the power unit.
Unlatch the two latches to remove the canister from the power
unit. To replace the canister, insert the rim of the canister into the
receptacle of the power unit and fasten the two latches over the
rim of the receptacle. This is done by  rst hooking the latches over
the rim into the strikes; then simultaneously pressing the bottom of
each latch until it locks into place.
Start off by emptying the dirt canister bi-monthly until you get
some idea as to how long it is going to take you to  ll the
canister under your normal cleaning circumstances. For best
performance, empty your canister frequently.
Your vacuum power unit has a unique self-cleaning  lter
system that provides full suction power at all
times. The  lter is made of fabric to
repel dirt. When the machine is
turned on, suction pulls the
 lter up inside. When the
machine is turned off, a 12-
oz weight drops down and
cleans the  lter.
PAPER BAG MODELS
- Change paper bags 4 to 6 times a
year. This will vary according to usage.

TIPS ON CARE OF YOUR
CENTRAL CLEANING SYSTEM
Your Easy-Flo vacuum system is a lifetime improvement for
you and your family. Treat it properly and you will enjoy
it for many years to come. Your power unit is warrantied
against defective materials and workmanship, but not
against misuse. There is a service charge for repairing and
replacing damaged or misused components of the system
or for unnecessary service calls.
1). You should only use one vacuum inlet at a time for
maximum suction power.
2). When not in use, always hang your hose up and store
the cleaning tools and wands in a place where they will not
be damaged.
3). The vacuum system will not be activated unless a hose
is inserted into an inlet, and the switch (if equipped) is in
the on position.
4). Run system for 5-10 seconds after cleaning to clear all
dirt out of the vacuum tubing.
5). The life of your vacuum will be extended if the unit is
properly taken care of. To maintain your limited lifetime
warranty it is required that the  lter and motor brushes
be checked and/or replaced every 5 years by an authorized
Easy-Flo dealer.
6). Do not pick up or attempt to pick up anything that will
not go through the cleaning tool. Do not attempt to pick
up water!
7). Do not tamper with power unit or place anything on
top of it.
8). The power unit must be installed on it’s own electrical
circuit.
9). Do not use anything but a 15 amp fuse on the power
unit.

10). Do not use system to pick up construction debris
- nails, drywall dust, etc. which may cause clog ups.
11). Service to your system must be completed by an
authorized Easy-Flo dealer.
12). To use the utility valve on the power unit
(applicable models only), push the rocker switch (On/
Off) on the side of the motor compartment. Make
sure the hose is connected to the utility valve before
turning the unit on. All power units are equipped
with a circuit breaker to protect the motor from over
heating.
13). Do not operate in an area where the temperature
is over 32° C / 90° F.
14). Make sure power unit is well ventilated, and the
area around it is clear of obstructions.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is for use on a standard 120 volt
circuit, and has a ground plug that looks like the plug
illustrated in  gure 1.1. Make sure the power unit is
connected to an outlet having the same con guration
as the plug. No extension cord or adapter should be
used with this power unit. Do not cut off the ground
plug under any circumstances.
