there are no clogs. When the lines turn completely red there is a need to check the dust bag for being full of the other areas
that may be clogged. See HOW YOUR VAC-

NOTE: Red lines may appear when using attachments or when cleaning new carpet, due to reduced airflow by the attachments themselves or new carpet fuzz filling the bag quickly.
POWER-MATE TM STORAGE
SOME MODELS
The lower wand has a "U" shaped flange in the area where the power cord attaches.
The base has a "U" shaped slot near the
6front caster.
The flange allows the wands and POWER- MATE TM to be stored with the canister to conserve storage space. The can- ister must be stored on end for this feature to be used.
The wand will slip out of the slot as it is lift- ed up for use and will slide into the slot as it is lowered for storage.
