Clearing clogs
Low suction or poor pickup may be due to a clog
in the vacuum cleaner. If you notice a change in
the sound of the motor, check for clogs.
1.
Unplug the vacuum from electrical outlet.
2.
Empty dirt container.
3.
Check upper tank for build up or clogs.
4.
If you notice a clog in the upper tank,
remove the inner cyclone (see section
"Cleaning the upper tank" on page 16).
5.
Grasp the hose wand and separate it from
the hose wand base. Check for a clog in the
base, the wand or in the hose.
6.
Remove the Twist ‘n Snap hose from the vacuum
by turning to the
left
. Straighten the hose and
unclog with a long, narrow object such as a
broom handle.
7.
If the clog persists, follow the instructions for
"Checking the rotating floor brush and drive
belt" on pages 12 and 13 and inspect the air
passageway for obstructions.
