Setup
The ProTeam Cuff, Swivel 1.5 is designed for easy integration with compatible vacuum hoses and equipment. Ensure your vacuum hose has a 1.5-inch diameter for proper fitment.
- Inspect Components: Before installation, verify that the cuff and your vacuum hose ends are clean and free from debris or damage.
- Connect to Hose: Firmly insert one end of the vacuum hose into the cuff. Twist gently while pushing to ensure a snug fit. The swivel design allows for rotational movement once connected.
- Connect to Equipment: Attach the other end of the hose (or the other end of the cuff if it's a dual-ended swivel) to your vacuum cleaner's inlet or desired attachment. Ensure a secure connection to prevent air leaks, which can reduce suction power.
- Test Connection: Once connected, gently pull on the hose to confirm the cuff is securely attached to both the hose and the vacuum/attachment.

Operating
The ProTeam Cuff, Swivel 1.5 is a passive component designed to facilitate hose movement and connection. No specific operational steps are required beyond ensuring a secure fit.
- Secure Connection: Always ensure the cuff is tightly connected to both the vacuum hose and the vacuum or attachment. A loose connection can lead to loss of suction.
- Flexibility: The swivel feature allows the hose to rotate freely, preventing kinks and tangles during use. Utilize this flexibility to maneuver your vacuum hose efficiently around obstacles.
- Compatibility: This cuff is specifically designed for 1.5-inch diameter hoses. Using it with incompatible sizes may result in poor performance or damage.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your ProTeam Cuff, Swivel 1.5.
- Cleaning: Periodically inspect the cuff for any accumulated dust, dirt, or debris, especially within the swivel mechanism. Clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the plastic material.
- Inspection: Check for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage to the plastic. A damaged cuff can lead to air leaks and reduced vacuum efficiency.
- Storage: Store the cuff in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.
