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 oppo-
site 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 Airflow Pathway -

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).
