hose and other accessories before 

discarding the packaging.

To Operate the

together firmly.

Fit the multi-terrain floor tool to the 

narrow end of the wand and push 

together firmly. 

Fully extend the power cord by pulling 

the power plug out from the rear of 

the vacuum, until the yellow tape on 

the cord is showing.
