Using The Optional Hose - Elgee Power-Vac 632-E Owner's Manual

Your Power-Vac's Hose (if so equipped) can be used with or without a Hose Baffle, depending on
the type of litter or debris to be vacuumed. The Hose will have adequate suction for most materi-
als without any baffling. When maximum suction is needed for heavy or difficult-to-pickup waste,
however, Elgee's Hose Baffles should be used. These divert all of the Power-Vac's suction to the hose
by blocking off the debris inlet within the Inlet Housing. A Manual Hose Baffle is included with all
Hose kits unless the optional Onboard Hose Baffle is purchased. To use the Hose:
1.
Turn on the motor.
2a.
No Baffle: Skip to Step 3 to use the Hose without any baffling.
2b.
Manual Hose Baffle: Slide the Manual Hose
Baffle under the machine to the position shown
below. This will prevent interference between
the Front Caster and the Manual Hose Baffle's
handle. When properly positioned, the Manual
Hose Baffle's disc will contact the rear of the
machine's Inlet Housing. Skip to Step 3.
2c.
Onboard Hose Baffle: If your machine is
equipped with the optional Onboard Hose
Baffle, simply press down on the Baffle
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 Baffle Control
Handle in order to ensure there will be no
interference with the Front Caster.
3.
Grasp the Hose Handle; withdraw the Hose and the Hose Nozzle from the Hose Cup.
4.
Pick up debris.
5.
Reverse the above procedures to return to wide area vacuuming.
