Setup Instructions
1. Connecting the Central Vacuum Hose
- Locate a standard 1.5-inch direct connect wall inlet for your central vacuum system.
- Insert the direct connect end of the 35-foot crushproof hose firmly into the wall inlet. Ensure the two metal prongs on the hose end align with the corresponding holes in the inlet for power connection.
- A secure connection will activate the central vacuum system if the hose switch is in the "ON" position.

2. Assembling the EBK360 Powerhead and Wand
- Extend the stainless steel telescopic wand (with enclosed wiring) to your desired length. The wand has a collapsed length of 25 inches and extends up to 40 inches.
- Connect the lower end of the telescopic wand to the quick connect/disconnect neck of the EBK360 Electric Powerhead. Ensure it clicks securely into place.
- Attach the upper end of the telescopic wand to the hose handle. The enclosed wiring in the wand will connect the powerhead to the hose's electrical contacts.
3. Attaching Other Accessories
For the D330 floor brush and other universal accessories, attach them directly to the end of the hose handle or to the stainless steel telescopic wand (for the D330) or the plastic extension tubes as needed. Ensure a snug fit for optimal suction.
Operating Instructions
1. Using the 3-Way Hose Switch
The 35-foot crushproof hose features a convenient 3-way switch on its handle, providing complete control over your central vacuum system:
- OFF: Turns off both the central vacuum unit and the powerhead.
- SUCTION ONLY: Activates the central vacuum unit for suction, but the powerhead motor remains off. Ideal for delicate surfaces or when only suction is required.
- SUCTION + POWERHEAD: Activates both the central vacuum unit for suction and the EBK360 powerhead motor for deep cleaning.
The hose-to-grip connection offers a full 360-degree swivel, preventing tangles during operation.
2. Operating the EBK360 Powerhead
The EBK360 Electric Powerhead is designed for effective carpet cleaning. When the switch is set to "SUCTION + POWERHEAD", the brush roll will spin, and the integrated LED headlight will illuminate your cleaning path, making dust particles more visible.
3. Utilizing the D330 Floor Brush
The D330 flexible wall and floor vacuum brush attachment is versatile for various surfaces. It can be used with its dedicated stainless steel telescopic wand. For hard floors, use the brush without the carpet plate. For carpeted areas, attach the carpet plate. The kit also includes a mop cleaning attachment set for wet cleaning tasks (ensure your central vacuum system is suitable for wet pickup if using this feature).
4. Using Universal Accessories
- PT160 Handheld Turbo Brush: Ideal for upholstery, stairs, and pet hair removal.
- Crevice Tools (12-inch and 25-inch Flexible): Perfect for reaching tight spaces, corners, and between cushions.
- Universal Dust Brush: Features soft, sturdy natural fibers for dusting delicate surfaces, blinds, and furniture.
- Cob Web Brush: Designed for removing cobwebs from ceilings and high corners.
- Upholstery Brush Tool: With a swivel neck and tilting brush, it effectively cleans upholstered furniture.
Maintenance
1. General Cleaning
- Regularly wipe down all attachments and the hose exterior with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris.
- Ensure all connections are free of obstructions.
2. Powerhead Maintenance (EBK360)
- Periodically check the brush roll for tangled hair, threads, or debris. Use scissors to carefully cut and remove any obstructions.
- Ensure the LED headlight is clean and free from dust for optimal illumination.
3. Hose Care
- Store the crushproof hose on the provided hose rack to prevent kinks and damage.
- If suction decreases, check the hose for blockages. Carefully feed a blunt object (like a broom handle) through the hose to dislodge any clogs.
