screw packet taped to the handle. The screw 
packet contains two screws of equal length.

\fase of the handle firmly into the opening at

vacuum \fody. If there are any gaps \fetween   
the handle and the vacuum \fase, continue to

handle is flush.
4.  Insert the two screws from the screw packet 
into the e\bisting holes. Push each screw firmly 
into the hole \fefore \feginning to secure the 
screw with a Phillips head screwdriver. If the 
handle is aligned properly on the vacuum \fase, 
you should \fe a\fle to push the screw almost 
entirely into the hole until only the screw head 
is visi\fle. Tighten the screw with a Phillips head 
screwdriver \fy rotating the screw clockwise.

up the ta\fs on the cuff with the corresponding 
notches on the \fack of the vacuum. Twist the 
Twist ‘n Snap hose clockwise to lock the hose 
into place.

hose wand \fase located on the \fottom of the 
machine and fold the hose over the upper hose 
wrap.
