Electrical Safety

This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug in which 1 prong is wider than the other. This is a safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock. The plug will fit into a polarized outlet only 1 way. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. DO NOT attempt to modify the plug in any way. Montgomery Ward cannot
accept any liability for damage or injury resulting from failure to observe these safety procedures.

How to Use

ASSEMBLING THE WHEELS

2.  Attach each wheel mount and wheel to the vacuum by sliding the wheel mounts into the slots at the bottom of the vacuum base.

USING THE DRY VACUUM

2.  Set the motor housing on top of the base, aligning the locks, and push down until locks click into place.
3.  Attach the hose to the suction port on the front of the base. Turn the hose counterclockwise to lock it in place.
4.  Attach a tool and/or extension rod(s) to the free end of the hose, if desired.
5.  Make sure the vacuum switch on the motor housing is OFF.
