Brush reset

The brush power switch will blink 5 times and the motor will shut off if the rotating brush is jammed. To reset the brush, turn the cleaner off and unplug from the outlet. Remove the obstruction. The brush will automatically reset when the cleaner is plugged in and turned back on.

Cleaning clogs

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 or a reduction in the spinning action, check for clogs.

1.Unplug cleaner from electrical outlet.

2.Empty dirt container.

3.Check Tank for build up or clogs.

4.Remove the inner cyclone and check suction inlets for a clog.

5.Grasp the hose handle and lift to separate from the suction opening. Check for a clog in the base or the hose.

To remove clogs from the hose base:

6.Recline handle and turn vacuum cleaner over so bottom side is up. Locate and turn the quick release tabs on the foot hose cover as shown and pivot the cover out to remove.

7.Pull foot hose straight up to remove from foot base. Turn the vacuum back over, straighten the foot hose and unclog with a long, narrow object such as a broomstick.
