Clearing blockages

Disconnect cleaner from electrical out- let.

Low suction or pick up may be due to a blockage in the system. Refer to the following steps to check for blockages

continuing with each step until the blockage is found:

1.Check fullness of filter bag; change if needed.

492. Plug cleaner in and turn ON. Check for suction at end of

hose (A).

a. If there is suction, turn cleaner OFF and continue with step 3.

b. If there is no suction, turn cleaner OFF and check for blockage in hose and dirt tube as follows:

1)Disconnect hose from dirt duct

(C) by reversing procedure for “Attach hose” on pg. 3, Fig. 7 and 8.

2)Clear out hose

3)Look into (C) and remove any blockage

3.Check connection at hose tube (B); remove any blockage.

4.Turn cleaner OFF and unplug.

5.Remove bottom plate, belt and agitator (see “The belt” section).

50Look into opening (D) for blockages and remove.

6.Remove agitator shield (see Fig. 44) and remove any loose debris which may have accumulated under it.

Thermal Protector

An internal thermal protector has been designed into your cleaner to protect it from overheating.

When the thermal protector acti- vates the cleaner will stop run- ning. If this happens proceed as fol- lows:

1.Turn cleaner OFF and disconnect it from the electrical outlet.

2.Check secondary and final filters for dirt accumulation.

3.Refer to “Clearing blockages” section.

4.When cleaner is unplugged and motor cools for 30 minutes, the ther- mal protector automatically resets and cleaning may continue.

If the thermal protector continues to activate after following the above steps, your cleaner may need ser- vicing (see “Service” section).

If you have a problem

If a minor problem occurs, it usually can be solved quite easily when the cause is found by using the check list below.

Problem: Cleaner won’t run

Possible cause

Possible solution

•Not firmly plugged in

•Plug unit in firmly

•No voltage in wall plug

•Check fuse or breaker

•Blown fuse or tripped breaker

•Replace fuse or reset breaker

•Thermal protector activated

•Allow cleaner to cool for 30 minutes (this will reset the thermal protector)

Problem: Cleaner/tools won’t pick up

Possible cause

Possible solution

•Broken or worn belt

•Replace belt

•Agitator brush roll worn

•Replace brush roll

•Cloth/paper filter bag full

•Empty/change filter bag

•Incorrect carpet height setting

•Move nozzle control knob to lower setting

•Blockage in air flow passage

•Clear blockage

Problem: Cleaner hard to push

Possible cause

Possible solution

•Incorrect carpet height setting

•Move nozzle control knob to lower setting
