Assembly 

The only tool you’ll need to assemble your  

vacuum cleaner is a Phillips screwdriver.

Locate and install filters

Important: Before using your vacuum, make sure 

that all filters (pre-motor and post-motor) are 

in place. Do not operate your vacuum without 

these filters. 

Attach handle to vacuum

1. 

Locate the carry handle. Remove the screw 

packet taped to the carry handle. There are three 

screws in this screw packet. Two screws are used 

to attach the upper handle and carrying handle 

to the vacuum base. One screw is used to attach 

the hose guide/tool caddy.

2. 

Stand the vacuum upright. From the back of 

the vacuum body, slide the base of the upper 

handle firmly into the grooves at the top of the 

vacuum body. Continue to push so that there are 

no gaps and the front of the handle is flush with 

the vacuum body.

3. 

With the upper handle firmly placed on the 

vacuum body, guide the carrying handle into 

place onto the back of the upper handle and 

insert two of the screws into the existing holes. 

(Reference the rear-facing product view on page 

4 to see how the carry handle should look). 

Tighten screws securely with a Phillips screw-

driver to anchor the carry handle to the upper 

handle and the upper handle to the vacuum body.

Attach the vacuum hose & tools

1. 

Attach the 3 hose/tool storage pieces to the 

back of the unit.  
 

 

a. 

Attach the tool storage clip to the back 

of the handle by snapping the piece into the 

unit as shown. Push piece straight in—with 

the tool grips facing down—until it snaps 

into place.

 

 

b. 

Attach the hose guide clip to the left side 

of the back of the vacuum. Insert tab at a 45 

degree angle and turn clockwise so it snaps 

into place.

 

 

c. 

Attach the hose guide/tool caddy to the 

bottom of the vacuum base. Align the com-

ponent with the appropriate grooves on the 

back of the unit. Slide into place and insert 

screw into the existing hole. Tighten securely 

with a Phillips screwdriver. 

2.

 Line up the tabs of the Twist ‘n Snap Hose with 

the corresponding notches and turn clockwise. 

Slide the end of the hose into the Hose Wand 

Base and warp around the Hose Guides as shown 

on page 4. 

3.

 Place the TurboBrush Tool into its holder from 

the front of the vacuum.

Do not operate vacuum with damp or wet filters 

or without all filters in place first.
