TO ASSEMBLE:

1 Place the floor nozzle on a level surface.
2 Align the tube of the floor nozzle with the tube on

the detachable canister and lower until you hear
the two pieces click into place. (Fig. 8)

When attaching the motorized floor brush, ensure

that the latching mechanism is fully locked in place
to ensure electrical connection has been made.

NOTE: To change floor nozzles (models NV350,

NV350A & NV350E only) press the red release
button (a) on the side of the detachable canister,
gently hold the nozzle to the floor with your foot
and pull the detachable canister up. (Fig. 9)

3 Attach the end of the extension wand to the tube

on the back of the detachable canister until it
clicks into place. (Fig. 10)

4 Slide the accessory holder (a) positioned opposite

the upper cord wrap, over the extension wand.
Align the tab with the groove and push down.

(Fig. 10)

5 Push the handle (b) onto the top of the extension

wand until you hear it click into place. (Fig. 11)

6 Insert the end of the stretch hose (c) into the

connector on the back of the detachable canister.

7 Store the dusting brush (d) and the crevice tool

(e) on the mounts of the accessory holder.
(Fig. 11)

Mode 1: Upright Vac

To reduce the risk of electric shock, unplug the unit before assembling, adding or removing attachments or

converting modes.

4 Gently press the floor nozzle down with your foot

while you grasp the handle and tilt it back towards
you. (Fig. 13)

NOTE: The rotating brush on the motorized

floor brush will not spin unless the nozzle is flat

against the floor and the handle is tilted back.

5 Due to the huge suction power of this

vacuum, it may become necessary at
times to adjust the suction release (d) on
the handle. (Fig. 12) If the vacuum seems
difficult to push or pull or if it is lifting up
area rugs, adjust the suction release by
rotating the collar 90° counterclockwise to
open the valve. Rotate the collar clockwise
to close the valve when you need high
suction and for vacuuming floors.

6 Empty dust cup after vacuuming and periodically

during use when it appears full. (See

“Maintenance” section for instructions.)

7 When you are finished vacuuming, turn the

vacuum off.

the vacuum on for above-floor cleaning.

IMPORTANT: Ensure vacuum is in upright

position. Do not use position “II” when cleaning
above the floor in the upright vac mode as this

rotating brush may damage your floor if run for a
prolonged period of time in one area.
