Tools

1. How to connect the hose assembly to the vacuum

cleaner: Pull out and open the suction control dial by

turning the lid located on the back of the vacuum cleaner.

Insert the soft, rubber end of the hose assembly into the

cleaning attachment opening. Push in while twisting the

hose end to ensure the hose is fastened securely (Fig. 34).

2. How to connect the tool: You can connect any of the

cleaning tools to the end of the extension wand(s) or

curved wand and twist for a secure fit. To remove the

cleaning tool from the extension wand(s) or curved wand,

simply twist and pull apart.

WARNING: There is no way to turn this vacuum’s brushroll off. Therefore, when using the cleaning

tools it is important to keep your Riccar vacuum from running in the same spot for a period of time, as

carpet or flooring damage could result. If you need to keep the vacuum in the same spot for a period

of time, such as at the base of the stairs when cleaning the stairs, place something, like a flattened

cardboard box, under the vacuum to prevent damage to the floor.

Optional cleaning tools

All Riccar upright vacuum cleaners offer an attachment port that enables you to insert

optional cleaning tools (available through your Riccar Retailer). Should you have carpeted

stairs, for example, it is highly recommended to use one of the two kits pictured, since each

offers either a 12- or 15-foot hose for safe stair cleaning. These kits are effective overall

cleaning tools to address some of the hard to reach areas of your home or car. Talk to your

Riccar Retailer to see which tools might be beneficial for your home.
