MACHINE ASSEMBLY
CAUTION!
Fully assemble the cleaner before using.
1 - ASSEMBLY PACKET
The packet contains two 2-part bolts and two cord hooks. An extra drive
belt is also included.
2 – ATTACH LOWER / UPPER HANDLE
Slip the upper handle (D) and the lower handle (E) together so the handle
bolt holes align and the slots in the handle are positioned as shown in
Figure 2. Insert a 2-part bolt (A) in the center of the handle and tighten.
Hold the assembled handle (D/E) so it curves away from the cleaner.
Then push the handle into the handle socket (F) at the rear of the cleaner.
Align the holes, insert the other 2-part bolt (A), and tighten.
3 / 4 – CORD HOOKS
UPPER CORD HOOK: Pull the spring (G) on the cord upward toward
the top of the handle. Insert the lower half of the spring (G) into the upper
cord hook (B).
Make sure slots in handle are positioned properly (Figure 2). Place inner
tab into slot as shown in (1) and press hook around handle (2), snapping
opposite inner tab into place (3) (Figure 4).
LOWER CORD HOOK: Insert the power cord into the lower cord hook
(C) (Figure 3). Snap the hook into the lower handle. Pull the cord up to
tighten but leave enough slack near the base so the cord is not strained
when the handle is lowered. Wrap the cord around the two cord hooks.
Fasten the plug to the cord to prevent unwinding.
5 - HOW TO INSTALL THE BAG
Insert the bag adapter clip (H) on the bottom of the bag collar into the
bag adapter retainer (I) below the air outlet. Push the bag collar up and
forward so the locator lug (J) to the right of the cam latch (L) slides into
the slot (K), then turn the cam latch to lock the bag onto the shoulder
rivet (M). To support the bag, loop the spring (N) from the top of the bag
onto the bag support, located to the back of the upper cord hook (B)
(Figure 2).

8 - HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
This machine has a 6-position adjustment knob. To select the proper
setting, move the knob to the highest setting. Turn down one setting at a
