How to clear a blockage
C A U T I O N
Make sure vacuum is turned off
and power cord is unplugged.
If vacuum is not cleaning carpet, or
if no suction at end of hose, check
to be sure air path is not blocked.
• Press release button and lift off dust
cup (Fig. 1).
• Empty debris. Hold over wastebasket
and press lever to release bottom lid
(Fig. 2).
• Check filters and filter screen. Remove
any debris and shake off dust. (See
maintenance instructions on page 10.)
• Turn air path knob to ‘FLOOR.’ Use
finger to check for debris in air path
(Fig. 3).
If still no suction, check
for blockage in hose.
• Remove hose from vacuum: Twist
counterclockwise to loosen and lift off
from air path knob (Fig. 4).
• Use a rod or similar blunt implement
to clear any blockages in hose. Flex
hose to loosen debris (Fig. 5). Use
caution if there is any risk that glass
or nails could have become imbedded
in hose.
• Detach lower hose: Press tab to
release; pull hose down. Use finger to
clear blockage (Fig. 6).
• Reattach upper and lower hoses.
