1” hex head machine screw through the other hole.
Posion the Hose Handle onto the two screws installed in Step

distoron of the Hose Nozzle may occur as the fasteners are
ghtened. This is normal.
Slide a hose clamp onto the Hose. Push the Hose

Your Power-Vac’s Hose (if so equipped) can be used with or without a Hose Bae, depending on
the type of lier or debris to be vacuumed. The Hose will have adequate sucon for most materi-
als without any baing. When maximum sucon is needed for heavy or dicult-to-pickup waste,
however, Elgee’s Hose Baes should be used. These divert all of the Power-Vac’s sucon to the hose
by blocking o the debris inlet within the Inlet Housing. A Manual Hose Bae is included with all
Hose kits unless the oponal Onboard Hose Bae is purchased. To use the Hose:
 Turn on the motor.
  Skip to Step 3 to use the Hose without any baing.

Bae under the machine to the posion shown
below. This will prevent interference between
the Front Caster and the Manual Hose Bae’s
handle. When properly posioned, the Manual
Hose Bae’s disc will contact the rear of the
machine’s Inlet Housing. Skip to Step 3.

Control Handle to release the locking pin
and rotate it clockwise as far as it will go.
Note: Pull the machine backwards a few
inches before turning the Bae Control
Handle in order to ensure there will be no
interference with the Front Caster.
 Grasp the Hose Handle; withdraw the Hose and the Hose Nozzle from the Hose Cup.
 Pick up debris.

Motor - Periodic lubricaon is necessary. Refer to the motor manufactur-
er’s literature for specic requirements.
Filter Bag - Elgee Filter Bags hold the debris picked up by your Power-Vac
and are designed to capture dust from the discharge air. To ensure
that your machine connues to operate at peak eciency:
• Shake the dust from the bag aer each use to maintain maximum
sucon. Do this several mes during the day if you’re picking up
mostly ne materials. Accumulated dust clogs the bag’s pores,
thereby reducing air ow and sucon.
• For outdoor use where dust control is not an issue, opening the
bag’s vent zipper will extend the maximum sucon me.
• Allow the bag to air dry if it becomes wet. A wet bag can rot or
allow the growth of mold and mildew.
• Launder the bag only if necessary. Use cold water and hang the
bag to air dry.
Your Elgee Power-Vac has been designed to provide years of trouble-free
service! Periodic aenon to the Motor and the Filter Bag is all that’s
needed to ensure that it always performs as well as when it was new.

For ONE YEAR from date of installaon for the original purchases, Elgee will repair or
replace (at Elgee’s opon), FREE OF CHARGE, any parts or parts found upon examina-
on by the factory in Warren, New Jersey, or by any factory authorized center, to be
defecve in material and/or workmanship.
Except for bags, wiring, fuel tubes, cables, brass nipples, and rubber parts, Elgee
