MAINTENANCE

REMOVING BLOCKAGES

If your bag full indicator light remains lit after you have changed bags and/or filters this is an indication that there may be a blockage somewhere in your unit.

It is important to keep all areas of the system free from blockage, as this may damage your unit or its components.

Check for suction at the end of hose. If you can only feel a small amount of suction, there is a block in your hose. To remove:

1.Loosen the safety ring on the lid.

2.Remove the hose from the machine.

3.Reverse the airflow through the hose by putting the hose handle in the connecting tube of the filter cover.

4.Stretch the hose in the spot where the blockage may be and open/close the end of hose until blockage is

removed.
