Clearing clog
Low suction, poor pickup or no suction
may be due to a clog in the vacuum
cleaner. If you notice a change in
the sound of the vacuum motor or a
reduction in the spinning action in the
dirt container, check for clogs.
1.
Unplug cleaner from electrical outlet.
2.
Empty dirt container.
3.
Check upper tank and primary separa-
tor for build up or clogs. Check to make
sure primary separator is installed cor-
rectly. To unlock the primary separator,
grasp the rim and turn toward the left.
Pull straight down to remove. If the pri-
mary separator is missing or not locked
into place, check and clear the tube in
the center of the dirt container and prop-
erly install primary separator.
4.
Remove the Twist ‘n Snap hose from the
vacuum by turning to the left. Check the
suction inlet, hose and hose wand for
clogs. Remove any clogs from the hose
using a long, narrow object such as a
broomstick.
5.
Check the foot hose for clogs. If need-
ed, remove the screw attaching the hose
wand base to the vacuum. Straighten
the foot hose and unclog with a long,
narrow object such as a broomstick.
6.
If the clog persists, follow the instructions
for checking the rotating floor brush on
page 11 and inspect the air passageway
for obstructions.
