How to Use the Attachments for the Dyson D17 Absolute Animal
The Dyson D17 Absolute Animal cyclone bagless vacuum cleaner brushbar and attachments can handle any light or heavy-duty vacuum related cleaning task. Dyson has designed D17 attachments for quick placement, use and/or interchangeability for cleaning various areas around the home. You easily use your Dyson attachments to clean hard-to-reach areas and deep cleaning of friction sensitive surfaces. Does this Spark an idea?

1
Place your Dyson D17 Absolute Animal into its upright position so that the brushbar won't rotate when using attachments.

Flip up the Quick-Draw Telescope Reach wand cap and pull the metal tube from inside the wand. Continue pulling until the wand and hose pull up and away from the vacuum.

4
Push and twist your attachment onto the end of the wand (the cuff). To use the hose with an attachment, remove the wand by pressing the red button on the wand handle, pulling it away from the hose and pushing/twisting the attachment onto the hose cuff.
-
5
Press and release the ON/OFF button and begin vacuuming with the hose or wand and an attachment.
For the Mini Turbine Head, pull the plunger so that the brush can spin, position the slider underneath the head and slowly drag the turbine down surfaces. For the Low Reach Floor Tool, vacuum forward and back as you would the brushbar. For the Soft Dusting Brush, glide or wipe the dusting brush gently side-to-side along surfaces allowing the suction and soft bristles to dislodge dust and dirt. For the Mattress Tool, drag the tool slowly in a downward motion on surfaces. For the Flexi Crevice Tool, run the tool---with or without the brush head---in tight, hard-to-reach areas.

Tips & Warnings
You can use the attachments in the following ways. Mini Turbine Head: clean upholstery, stair carpeting, a vehicle or any narrow areas or thickly woven materials containing dirt or pet hair. Low Reach Floor Tool: clean carpets or floors and under low furniture. Soft Dusting Brush: clean keyboards, fans, blinds and friction sensitive surfaces such as computer or television screens. Mattress Tool: clean mattresses, box springs and upholstery. Flexi Crevice Tool: clean tight spaces, narrow crevices, baseboard and corners.
If you're vacuum automatically shuts, it may have overheated from a clog. Unplug it, allow it to cool and then check the wand, hoses and the attachment for dirt and debris.
Take care when using attachments and the hose---especially when cleaning on stairs---as your D17' Level 3 Root Cyclone™ technology's extreme suction can cause the unit and hose to pull away, resulting in damage to the unit or injury to you if the suction causes you or the vacuum to fall over.
Don't vacuum large amounts of fine dust or other fine materials with your D17 as fine particles can damage your vacuum.
Never rest your Dyson on stairs to clean them. Place the upright unit at the bottom of your stairs and stretch the hose and/or wand up the stair to clean them.
