Clog Removal
Always unplug vacuum from outlet before removing ! any clogs!
Clogs in the Airflow Pathway - Figure 12
Most clogs can be removed by accessing the airflow pathway via the orange colored access door (38) located on the underside of the power head. However, other clogs may only be removed by accessing the airflow pathway by disassembling the machine in the opposite sequence of the machine’s original assembly (see assembly, page 5).
Clogs in the Attachment Hose - Figure 13
Blockages in the hose can be cleared by removing the attachment hose (12) from the machine by squeezing the retaining ring (4) and inserting the oppo- site end of the hose in the connecting tube (23). Hold the hose upright with one hand blocking the top end and switch on the machine. If necessary, quickly lift your hand on and off the end of the hose. If this procedure does not clear the clog, a straight wire can be inserted into the hose to push out the clog. Take care not to puncture the hose with the wire.
Clogs in the Attachment Tube (Active Wand) - Figure 14
Remove attachment hose (12) from the attachment tube (16). Then, grip attachment tube handle (11) and remove tube from the machine. A straight wire can be inserted into the tube to push out the clog.

Remove attachment hose (12) from vacuum cleaner (see figure 13) and remove front cover (7). Clean out connecting tube (23) and/or entrance to bag (28).
