wand support, lower cord wrap, and screws. Remove the screw packet from the bag.

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

the vacuum body. The front of the handle should be flush with the front of the vacuum body. If there are any gaps, continue to push the handle until it is secure.
