Low suction or poor pickup may be due to a clog in the vacuum cleaner. If you notice a change in the sound of the motor, check for clogs.

1. Unplug the vacuum from electrical outlet.

4.

2.Empty dirt container.

3.Check upper tank for build up or clogs.

4.If you notice a clog in the upper tank, remove the separator plate (see section "Cleaning the Upper Tank" on page 16).

5.Grasp the curved wand and separate it from the hose wand base. Check for a clog in the base, the wand or in the hose.

NOTE: On select units that have the clean filter indicator, when the indicator reads black, there is a clog in the hose which is diminishing suction power. Remove the clog in the hose to restore full suction power.

6.Remove the Twist ‘n Snap hose from the vacuum by turning to the right. Straighten the hose and unclog with a long, narrow object.

7.If you notice debris or dirt clogged in the connect- ing tube, remove it by pulling it out at the top and lifting the tube out. Clean the tube of any debris and clear any possible clog from the port to the pre-motor filter. Reattach tube by first installing the base and than push in the top of the tube.

8.If the clog persists, follow the instructions for checking the rotating floor brush and drive belt on page 12 and inspect the air passageway for obstructions.
