TO REMOVE DEBRIS FROM THE FLAPPER

• Sometimes debris may clog the bottom of the cleaner and prevent flapper movement or

restrict flow. The flapper is located inside the main body and must move freely at all times.

• You can see the flapper through the opening in the baffle plate, when you turn the cleaner

upside down as shown in Figure 12. Jiggle

the flapper with your finger or flush the

cavity with a hose to force out any debris

lodged inside the main body.

• If debris is still lodged inside, you must

remove the flapper. First, lift the lip of the

foot pad up and insert a flat-headed

screwdriver along side one of the two tabs

found on either side of the baffle plate. See

Figure 13. Push the tab inward with the

screwdriver until the baffle plate releases.

Place a finger into the center opening of the

baffle plate and pull up until it pops out.

Then pull the flapper out.

NOTE: You

should be able to do this without taking

the foot pad off.

• Once the debris is dislodged, insert the flapper back into the main body and snap the baffle plate

back into position. Be sure that it is securely in place. See Figure 13.
