How to attach tools
Disconnect deep cleaner from electri-
cal outlet.
1. Place handle in upright position and
remove hose from rack.
All tools attach to the hose in the same
manner:
2. Connect tool to hose by sliding it onto
connector until the tab (C) locks it
securely.
Using your thumb, push forward and up
on the latch (D) to remove tool as
shown.
Before using tool
It may be necessary to remove air from

cleaner ON.

against your hand to block off the suc-
tion.

seconds). Then squeeze the trigger and
begin cleaning.
Follow the instructions on pages 12-13
for the appropriate cleaning task.
Attaching scrub module*

and lift it from the base (E).
3. Pull scrub module from deep cleaner
and snap it onto the base.
Note: It may be necessary to rotate the
scrub module (F) slightly so it will align
