8.Attach the vacuum hose to the machine (Fig. 3). The Hose is equipped with a bayonet style connector. Align the projection on the side of the Hose connector with the slot in the Container intake port. Slide connector into intake port and rotate one-quarter turn clockwise to lock.

NOTE: Models 7812 and 7814 Vacuum Cleaners are equipped with a Static Dissipating System

that can help dissipate static electrical charges (sometimes experienced when recovering very dry, powdered materials), when used with a Static Dissipating type vacuum hose. The hose that comes with your unit is NOT a static dissipating hose. To install a Static Dissipating type hose will require removal of the bayonet connector from the standard hose, and installation (of the bayonet connector), onto the Static Dissipating hose, as follows:

A.Depress locking tab (A) Fig. 4A and pull collar (B) out of the bayonet connector slightly.

B.Rotate the assembly 180° and depress the second locking tab, allowing the bayonet connector to be separated from the hose assembly.

C.Grasp hose in one hand and mounting hub (C) Fig. 4B in the other. Rotate the mounting hub clockwise (left-hand thread) to remove it from the hose.
