Using this vacuum cleaner hose is easy. First, make sure your vacuum cleaner has 3-lugs on the machine end fitting as this hose is designed for such models. Simply connect the hose to the machine. When using, avoid sharp bends or kinks in the hose as this could affect suction. For maintenance, regularly check the hose for any blockages. If you find something blocking it, try to remove it gently. You can also clean the outside of the hose with a damp cloth. Keep it in a dry place when not in use. This way, your hose will last a long time and keep your vacuum cleaner working well.
