Clog Removal
Always unplug vacuum from outlet before removing any clogs!
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 assembly, page 5).
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.
Clogs in the Attachment Tube (Active Wand) -Figure 15
Remove attachment hose (12) from the attachment tube (15) by pressing the hose
release button (27). Then, grip attachment tube handle (11) and remove tube from
the machine. A straight wire can be inserted into the tube
to push out the clog.
Clogs in Entrance to Dust Bag -Figure 16
Remove attachment hose (12) from vacuum cleaner (see
figure 14) and remove front cover (7). Clean out
connecting tube (24) and/or entrance to bag (40).
Clogs in the Swivel Neck -Figure 17
Clogs in the swivel neck (20) can be removed by first pressing the housing
release button (8) and lifting off the dust bag housing (6). Lift upward firmly and
evenly to properly remove the dust bag housing. Then, release the foot pedal (19), lower the swivel
neck, check inside the swivel neck channel closest to the foot pedal (see arrow), and clean out
pathway.
