the screw packet taped to the handle.

2. Stand the vacuum upright and from the

rear of the unit, slide the base of the handle firmly into the grooves at the top of the vacuum body.

3. Ensure that the handle fits firmly to the vacuum

body. If there are any gaps, continue to push firmly until the handle is secure.

4. Insert the provided screw into the existing

hole, attaching the handle to the body of the vacuum. Tighten securely with a screwdriver.

the tabs on the base with the corresponding notches on the back of the vacuum as shown.

2. Turn the Twist ‘n Snap Hose to the right

to lock the hose into place.

end of the Hose Wand onto the Hose Wand Base. Snap the Hose into the Hose Clip.

NOTE: The vacuum will not operate effectively unless the hose wand is firmly attached.

4. Slide the extension wand and crevice tool

into the storage clip on back of vacuum.
