twisting to the right.  See section 
“Using Accessories and Tools.”

this.  

 

Troubleshooting for Electric Power Nozzle – 

Problem – electric power nozzle does not power up (motor does not turn on in power nozzle). 

Solution – Please follow all the steps below and try again: 

a.

 

Unplug cord from power nozzle on hose, count 20 seconds, then plug back in. 

b.

 

Make sure the brush roll can roll freely and nothing is obstructing it. 

c.

 

Make sure hose is firmly “snapped” into canister. 

d.

 

Make sure main electrical wand is firmly “snapped” all the way to the hose. 

e.

 

Make sure main electrical wand is firmly “snapped” all the way into the power nozzle. 

f.

 

For models with reset button, firmly press reset button on electrical power nozzle. 

g.

 

On the hose is an on/off switch. Make sure that it is turned to on.   

h.

 

On the Power Nozzle there is an on/off button make sure that is turned on as well. 

If you plug the power nozzle directly into the hose and it turns on (but won’t turn on with main wand 
attached,) then you know the main wand is defective or a connection needs adjusting (see last problem 
below). 

Problem – electric power nozzle turns on, but brush roll does not spin.
