Check and Clear Hose Blockages

Low suction or poor pickup may be due to a blockage in the vacuum cleaner.

 

1.  Remove hose and check suction at end of hose - if little or no 

suction, check disposable dust bag. Change if needed. If no 

improvement proceed to Step 2.

NOTE:  Turn off the switch and unplug the electrical cord before 

clearing hose.

  2.  Remove the handle from the vacuum cleaner by removing the 

two screws and sliding the handle towards the rear.

  3.  Once the handle is removed, disconnect the attachment hose 

from the unit by lifting straight up on the hose adapter.

   

Check  for  any  obstructions  that  may  be  in  the  hose.  Any 

obstructions can be removed by using a blunt instrument to 

clear the hose. Flexing the hose may help loosen the clog.

  4.  Reinstall the hose after clearing the clog. Make sure the hose is 

inserted into the top of the vacuum cleaner before reattaching 

the handle.

NOTE:  If no improvement in performance on carpet, proceed 

to following page.

2.  Remove handle.

3.  Disconnect hose.

1.  Remove hose and check suction at 

end of hose.

4.  Reinstall the hose and handle.
