How to 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 front bag cover.  To remove hose adapter from
opening, twist hose adapter clockwise and lift upward.

Once the hose is removed from the cleaner 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.

Reinstall the hose after clearing the clog. Make sure the
hose is inserted into the top of the vacuum cleaner.
