Maintenance and care
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.
3.Check upper tank and primary separa- tor for build up or clogs. Check to make sure primary separator is installed cor- rectly. To unlock the primary separator, grasp the rim and turn toward the left. Pull straight down to remove. If the pri- mary separator is missing or not locked into place, check and clear the tube in the center of the dirt container and prop- erly install primary separator.
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 such as a broomstick.
5.Check the foot hose for clogs. If need- ed, remove the screw attaching the hose wand base to the vacuum. Straighten the foot hose and unclog with a long, narrow object such as a broomstick.
6.If the clog persists, follow the instructions for checking the rotating floor brush on page 11 and inspect the air passageway for obstructions.
