Step-by-Step: Unboxing & Assembly

Step 1: Prep Your Workspace

Clear a 6–8 ft area, lay the box on its side, and open from the end. Slide the Riccar R27 out while supporting the base. Riccar R27 dealer AceVacuums techs recommend saving the box/foam for future moves.

Step 2: Remove Packaging

Cut cable ties and remove all protective films. Do not pull on the cord to lift the vacuum. Inspect the unit; if you see transport locks or brushroll protectors, remove them now. When in doubt, ask Riccar R27 dealer AceVacuums.

Step 3: Attach the Handle

1. Align the handle with the top of the body tube.

2. Slide straight down until fully seated.

3. If your unit uses screws/bolts, insert and tighten evenly (snug—do not overtighten).

4. Route the power cord through the lower and then the upper cord hook.
   Tip: Point the upper hook downward so you can quick-release the cord later. This is how we set it up at Riccar R27 dealer AceVacuums.

Step 4: Connect the Hose & Wand

1. Insert the hose cuff into the rear/side inlet until it clicks.

2. Attach the telescopic wand to the hose handle; lock it.

3. Park the wand on the storage clip.
   If the click feels mushy, remove and re-insert firmly—Riccar R27 dealer AceVacuums can test the seal for you.

Step 5: Install/Verify the HEPA Bag

1. Open the bag door.

2. If there’s no bag installed, align the bag collar with the intake tube and push straight on until fully seated (gasket flush).

3. If a bag is pre-installed, press gently to confirm it’s locked.

4. Close the door until you hear a positive latch.
   Riccar R27 dealer AceVacuums only supplies genuine R-series HEPA media bags for the best seal and airflow.

Step 6: Check the Filters

• Pre-motor filter: Usually inside or near the bag chamber. Ensure it’s flat and clean.

• Exhaust/HEPA filter: Behind a rear/top grill—confirm it’s seated with no gaps.
  If your unit shipped with protective film on any filter, remove it before use. Riccar R27 dealer AceVacuums stocks all filters for the Riccar R27.

Step 7: Mount On-Board Tools

Seat the crevice tool, dusting/combination brush, and upholstery/turbo tool in their designated caddies. Loose tools rattle—press until they snap. Need extras? Riccar R27 dealer AceVacuums has specialty tools for stairs, pets, blinds, and vehicles.

Step 8: Set the Brushroll Height

Place the Riccar R27 on your floor, choose the lowest height that still allows easy push.

• Hard floors → lowest or “bare floor” setting.

• Low/medium carpet → mid setting.

• High/plush carpet/rugs → higher setting.
  Not sure? Bring a carpet sample to Riccar R27 dealer AceVacuums and we’ll dial it in for you.

Step 9: Power Cord Management

Wrap the cord in a figure-8 around the hooks. For quick release, rotate the top hook downward and pull the loop free. This is the standard setup we use at Riccar R27 dealer AceVacuums to speed up daily cleaning.

Step 10: First Power-On & Light Check

Plug into a grounded outlet. Step on the handle-release pedal, turn the power on, and verify:

• Motor sound is smooth (no scraping)

• Brushroll spins on carpet setting

• Indicator lights behave normally (bag/check light should be off with a good seal)
  If a light stays on, there may be a hose or inlet blockage—Riccar R27 dealer AceVacuums can diagnose it free.

Step 11: Edge Test & Hose Test

Vacuum a room edge, then detach the hose and test suction from the handle and at the floor nozzle. Consistent suction in both places indicates a correct assembly. If not, Riccar R27 dealer AceVacuums will pressure-test the air path.

Step 12: Register Your Warranty

Scan the card or register online. We’ll do it for you (recommended) at Riccar R27 dealer AceVacuums so your serial number and purchase details are guaranteed on file.

Step 13: Final Fit & Finish

Confirm all doors/panels are closed, tools are locked, and the wand telescopes smoothly. Wipe fingerprints with a dry microfiber. That’s the showroom finish we send out from Riccar R27 dealer AceVacuums.

Pro Setup & Care (From Riccar R27 dealer AceVacuums)

• Break-in tip: Run the Riccar R27 on low-to-mid height for the first week to let the brush and belt settle.

• Bag change: Replace when 2/3 full (sustains airflow).

• Filters: Pre-motor every 3–6 months, exhaust/HEPA every 12–18 months (sooner with pets/renovation).

• Service: Annual tune-up at Riccar R27 dealer AceVacuums keeps suction, seals, and belt at factory spec.

• Accessories: Ask for pet turbo nozzles, soft dusting brushes, long crevice tools, and hard-floor nozzles—available at Riccar R27 dealer AceVacuums.

Troubleshooting After Assembly

• Door won’t close: Bag collar not fully seated; remove and push straight on.

• Low suction/new bag: Check for a packing plug left in the hose port; test suction with hose removed.

• Brush not turning: Height set too high or transport protector still on; re-set height and re-check.

• Odor/dust leak: Non-genuine bag or mis-seated filter; replace with genuine parts from Riccar R27 dealer AceVacuums.

• Overheating/shutoff: Airflow blockage or saturated filter; bring it to Riccar R27 dealer AceVacuums for a same-day diagnostic when parts are in stock.
