Assembly

The only tool you’ll need to assemble your vacuum cleaner is a Phillips head screwdriver.

Attach handle to vacuum

1. Locate the vacuum handle and remove

the screw packet taped to the handle. The screw packet contains two screws of equal length.

2. Stand the vacuum upright and slide the

base of the handle firmly into the open-

ing at the top of the vacuum body.

3. Check to be sure the handle is fitted to

the vacuum body. If there are any gaps between the handle and the vacuum base, continue to push the handle firmly into the base until the handle is flush.

4. Insert the two screws from the screw

packet into the existing holes. Push each screw firmly into the hole before beginning to secure the screw with a Phillips head screwdriver. If the handle is aligned properly on the vacuum base, you should be able to push the screw almost entirely into the hole until only the screw head is visible. Tighten the screw with a Phillips head screwdriver by rotating the screw clockwise.

Attach vacuum hose, clips & tools

1. Attach the extension wand clip by insert-

ing the clip into the back of the vacuum base and twisting clockwise. Mount the extension wand (with crevice tool inside) on the back of the vacuum.

2. Snap the upper cord wrap into the sock-

et located above the extension wand clip. Wrap the power cord around the cord wrap clips.

3. Attach the Twist 'n Snap™ hose by

lining up the tabs on the cuff with the corresponding notches on the back of the vacuum. Twist the Twist 'n Snap hose clockwise to lock the hose into place.

4. Slide the end of the hose wand into the

hose wand base, and fold the hose over the upper hose wrap.

NOTE: The powerfoot will not

suction properly unless the hose wand is firmly attached.

5. Slide the dusting brush into the opening

below the upper hose wrap.

6. The TurboBrush Tool secures to the back

of the handle in the mount above the Upper Hose Wrap.
