Assembling Your Vacuum Cleaner
Note: Do not plug the power cord into an electrical outlet until the vacuum is fully assembled.
Handle Assembly
1.Carefully unpack all components, set aside packaging.
2.Lift vacuum body to upright position.
3.Remove the screw (1) that comes attached to the
body.
4.From the rear of the vacuum, align the handle with groove and slide onto vacuum. If necessary, use
thumb and finger pressure to slide handle into position.
5.Once handle is in place, secure the handle with the screws (2). (Fig. 1)
Caution: Do not over tighten. Over tightening could strip the screw holes. Do not operate the vacuum without the handle screws in place.
Cord Assembly
1.Make sure that the quick release cord holder is in the upright position.
2.Remove the wire tie from the power cord.
3.Wrap the cord into place by wrapping it in a clockwise direction around the quick release cord holder and the lower cord holders. (Fig. 2)
4. Turn the quick release cord holder
to the left or to the right to unwrap the power cord. (Fig. 2)
Warning: Always make sure that the vacuum is turned off before unplugging.
Using the Attachments
1.Place vacuum in its upright position. Make sure that the vacuum cleaner is NOT plugged into the electrical outlet when adding or removing accessories.
2.Turn the carpet height selector
to the highest position and set the Carpet to Floor selector to the “Floor” position.
3.Remove the hose connector from the rear of the unit and push in the desired attachment firmly onto the end of the hose.
4.If additional length is required, attach the extension tubes to the end of the hose and then attach the crevice tool, round brush or upholstery brush to the end of the extension tube.
Warning: Avoid tipping the vacuum or setting it on furniture, fringed area rugs or carpeted stairs while you are using the hose with the attachments. When using the unit to vacuum floors or with attachments, set the Carpet to Floor Selector to the “Floor” position. This will stop the beater brush from rotating. When vacuuming carpets, avoid leaving the vacuum in one place for an extended period of time, particularly on thick carpet.
Caution: Do NOT pull the vacuum cleaner around the room by the hose as it could tip over and cause damage. When using the attachments, do NOT over extend the hose length when reaching. Trying to reach beyond the hose reach could cause the vacuum to tip over.
