I am not sure, but I believe the Omega's bag loop was not designed to be used with the Classic III/Tradition-style bag/cord hook (173676).

Why? Because the few times I used that on my Omega (the handle grip currently on it is a replacement, in the image of the Classic III/Tradition grip), the bag often falls off the hook.

My solution: to make the Omega's exclusive bag loop stay on the new-style clip, what I did was to change the position of the bag wire loop so the smaller of the two loops is facing upward. When I then used the Omega today, the bag stayed on the hook this time.

Please let me know what you did to overcome this.

Before and after pictures are included.

UPDATE

I re-oriented the bag top's wire clip to its original position, but what I did next was to expose the larger of the two loops only enough to clear the bag hook.

However, this solution will not apply to the Dual Sanitronic 80 and Classic 1-CR, as the bag hooks are fully exposed.
