Clearing blockages
When the cleaner senses low suction or
pickup, the red Suction Control light will
come on. Low suction or pick up may be
due to a blockage in the system. Refer
to the following steps to check for block-
ages, continuing with each step until the
blockage is found:
1. Turn cleaner off and
disconnect from
electrical outlet; then disconnect
power nozzle plug and wands from
hand grip.
2. Plug cleaner in, turn on, and check
hose end for suction. Remove any
obstructions.
3. Remove power nozzle from wands
and attach wands to hose. Check for
suction and remove any blockages.
4. Make sure power nozzle plug is dis-
connected from hand grip.
Then check
for blockage in nozzle connector (A).
Push nozzle connector down to lowest
position. Look into nozzle connector and
remove any blockage.
