Ensure your existing inlet has an inside diameter of 1 1/2 inches.
Verify that the inlet has the two necessary pins inside for the low-voltage connection.
Insert the hose end firmly into the wall inlet until it clicks into place. The unit should power on automatically if the inlet is active.
Attach desired cleaning tools (brushes, crevice tool, etc.) to the telescopic wand or directly to the hose handle.

Operating Instructions

Operating your OVO Central Vacuum System is straightforward. Follow these steps for effective cleaning.

Power On/Off: Once the hose is connected to an active inlet, use the On-Off switch located on the hose handle to start and stop the vacuum unit.
Cleaning Surfaces:
- For carpets and rugs, attach the Air Driven Carpet Beater. Move it slowly over the surface for optimal dirt removal.
- For hard floors (hardwood, tile, bare floors), use the 12'' Floor Brush.
- Use the dusting brush for delicate surfaces like blinds or shelves.
- The upholstery brush is ideal for cleaning furniture and drapes.
- The crevice tool is perfect for tight corners, edges, and hard-to-reach areas.
Soft-Start/Stop Technology: The unit features a soft-start to reduce motor wear and a 3-second delay upon turning off to clear remaining debris from the hose and piping network.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your OVO Central Vacuum System.

Filtration System

Image: Visual representation of the OVO Hybrid Filtration system, illustrating its use with a triple-layer disposable bag to prevent cuts and dust loss, and alternatively with a permanent, machine-washable filter.

Disposable Bags: If using disposable bags, replace them when full. The triple-layer design helps prevent cuts and dust loss.
Permanent Filter: If not using disposable bags, the system utilizes a permanent, machine-washable filter. Clean this filter periodically, or at least once a year, by removing it and washing it according to instructions. Ensure it is completely dry before reinstallation.
Canister Emptying: Empty the bottom load canister approximately once a year, or more frequently depending on usage.

General Care

Inspect the hose for kinks or damage regularly. The swivel at the handle helps prevent kinking.
Clean accessory tools as needed to maintain effectiveness.
Keep the exterior of the main unit clean with a damp cloth.

Troubleshooting
