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 one or both of the extension tubes to the end of the hose and then attach the crevice tool 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 the vacuum is turned on, the beater brush will continue to rotate. Avoid leaving the vacuum in one place for an extended period of time, particularly on thick carpet.
