Maintenance and care

Clearing 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, check for clogs.

1.Unplug the vacuum from electrical outlet.

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 inner cyclone (see section "Cleaning the upper tank" on page 16).

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

6.Remove the Twist ‘n Snap hose from the vacuum by turning to the left. Straighten the hose and unclog with a long, narrow object such as a broom handle.

7.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.
