CLOG REMOVAL
Clogs in the Airflow Pathway -
Figure 13
Most clogs can be removed by accessing the airflow pathway via the orange colored
access door (39) located on the underside of the power head. However, other clogs
may only be removed by accessing the airflow pathway by disassembling the
machine in the opposite sequence of the machine’s original assembly (see assem-
bly, page 6).
Clogs in the Attachment Hose -
Figure 14
Blockages in the hose can be cleared by removing the attachment hose (12) from the
machine by squeezing the retaining ring (4) and inserting the opposite end of the
hose in the connecting tube (24). Hold the hose upright with one hand blocking the
top end and switch on the machine. If necessary, quickly lift your hand on and off the
end of the hose. If this procedure does not clear the clog, a straight wire can be
inserted into the hose to push out the clog. Take care not to puncture the hose with
the wire.
