CLOG REMOVAL
10
NOTE! C3.1 users with ET-C, ET-H, ET-1 or ET-2 power heads, please refer
to your power head user’s manual for more detailed instructions for remov-
ing clogs in your power head.
If the “bag full or clog” warning light (10) remains illuminated after the fil-
ter bag has been changed and the filters are in good condition, there is like-
ly a clog in the system.
Clogs in the Head or Brush - Figure 15
Clogs in the swivel neck (49) of a head or brush can be cleared by first press-
ing the tool release button (9) and removing the brush or head. Check inside
the swivel neck channel (49), and clean out pathway.
Clogs in the Telescopic Tube - Figure 15
Remove head from telescopic tube (4) by pushing the tool release button and
pulling the tube out. Remove the hose from the top of the telescopic tube by
pushing the handle release button (3). A stiff wire or stick can be used to push
the clog out of the tube.
Clogs in the Hose - Figure 16
To clear blockages in the hose (10), remove the telescopic tube (4) by pushing
the tool release button and pulling the tube out. Hold the hose upright with
one hand blocking the top and switch on the machine. If necessary, quickly lift
your hand on and off the end of the hose. If that does not clear the clog, you
may also clear clogs by reversing the hose. After removing the telescopic
tube, push the release button on the hose neck (6) and remove the hose from
the machine. Insert the opposite end of the hose (10) into the suction neck (7).
Hold the hose upright with one hand blocking the top and switch on the
machine. If necessary, quickly lift your hand on and off the end of the hose.
Note:
Do not insert a wire or stick into the hose. Doing so may cause dam-
age to the hose.
