CLOG REMOVAL
Clogs in the Airflow Pathway - Figure 13
M
ost clogs can be removed by accessing the airflow pathway via the orange col-
ored access door (39) located on the underside of the power head. However,
o
ther clogs may only be removed by accessing the airflow pathway by disas-
sembling the machine in the opposite sequence of the machine’s original
assembly (see assembly, page 6).
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.

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.
