What Comes in the Box

Before you begin, unpack everything and confirm you have all the included components:

• Main vacuum body
  
• Handle
  
• Vacuum hose
  
• Extension wand
  
• Pet tool
  
• Crevice tool

Lay everything out on a clean, flat surface so parts are easy to access during assembly.

Tools You'll Need

Step-by-Step Assembly Instructions

Step 1: Attach the Handle

1. Locate the handle and the opening at the top of the vacuum body.
   
2. Align the handle with the slot and gently slide it into place.
   
3. Push down firmly until the handle sits securely.
   
4. If screws are provided, tighten them to lock the handle in position.

Tip: Do not force the handle if aligned correctly, it should slide in smoothly.

Step 2: Install the Vacuum Hose

1. Take the hose and locate the hose connection port on the vacuum.
   
2. Insert the hose end into the port until it clicks or fits snugly.
   
3. Route the hose along the back of the vacuum and secure it using the built-in clips.

A properly installed hose ensures strong suction when using attachments.

Step 3: Attach the Wand and Accessories

1. Slide the extension wand into its designated storage slot.
   
2. Place the pet tool, crevice tool, and dusting brush into their holders on the vacuum.
   
3. Make sure each accessory clicks into place so it won't fall during use.

These onboard tools make above-floor and pet hair cleaning fast and convenient.

Step 4: Double-Check All Connections

Before plugging in your vacuum:

• Confirm the handle is firmly attached
  
• Ensure the hose is fully seated
