Clearing clog

Low suction, poor pickup, or no suction may be

due to a clog in the vacuum cleaner. If you notice

a change in the sound of the vacuum motor or a

reduction in the spinning action in the dirt

container, check for clogs.

1. Unplug cleaner from electrical outlet.

2. Empty dirt container.

Check upper tank and primary separator for

build up or clogs. Check to make sure

primary

separator

is installed correctly. To unlock the

primary separator, grasp the rim and turn

toward the left. Pull straight down to remove. If

the

primary separator is missing or not locked

into place, check and clear the tube in the cen-

ter of the dirt container.

4. Remove the Twist ‘n Snap hose from the

vacuum by turning to the left. Check the

suction inlet, hose and hose wand for clogs.

Remove any clogs from the hose using a

long, narrow object.

5. Check the foot hose for clogs. If needed,

remove the screw attaching the hose wand

base to the vacuum. Straighten the foot hose

and unclog with a long, narrow object.

6. If the clog persists, follow the instructions for

checking the rotating floor brush on page 10

and inspect the air passageway for obstructions.
