Remove the Dyson upright from the packaging and set the machine in the upright position on the floor.
Remove the hose and cleaning wand from the packaging.
Locate the cylindrical opening at the back of the cleaner. The opening is connected to the Dyson motor system and is the source for the suction that will allow the hose and cleaning wand to clean above the floor targets.
Align the tabs on the colored rim of the hose with the slots on the opening at the back of the machine. Push the hose into the opening until the tabs engage to lock the hose into place on the back of the Dyson cleaner.
Press the wand release button, located on the rearward facing side of the hose, and slide the wand into the hose. Release the wand release button to secure the wand in place within the hose.
Push the wand toward the upright section of the Dyson cleaner until it locks into place with an audible "click."
