Bissell 61C5-G - Manual (Page 5)

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. your total floors vacuum comes pre-
loaded with a post-motor foam filter. if you wish
to use the post-motor febreze® filter instead,
locate the febreze® filter in the vacuum carton
and remove the filter from its packaging. next,
remove the post-motor foam filter from the filter
door and insert the febreze® filter in its place as
is shown to the right (a). do not use your vacuum
without one of these filters in place. do not use
both filters together.
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 car-
rying 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 screwdriver 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 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.
