Clearing clogs

Low suction, poor pickup or no suction may

be due to a clog in the vacuum cleaner. If you

notice a change in the sound of the vacuum

motor, check for clogs.

1. Turn power switch off. Unplug cleaner

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” below).

5. Grasp the hose and separate it from the

hose wand base. Check for a clog in

the base or in the hose itself.

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 instruc-

tions for “checking the rotating floor

brush and drive belt” on page 10 and

inspect the passageway for obstructions.

Cleaning upper tank

1. Grasp the inner cyclone and twist to the

left until the locking tabs stop the rotation.

Pull down from the upper tank to remove it.

2. Wipe out the inside of the upper tank and

the inner cyclone with a damp cloth moist-

ened with water or a mild cleaning solution.

3. The inner cyclone may be washed using

a mild detergent. Be sure it is complete-

ly dry before reassembling or damage

to your unit may result.

4. Once cleaning is complete, replace the

inner cyclone by sliding it into the upper

housing. Line up the inner cyclone by

ensuring the tabs on the cyclone are posi-

tioned toward the front of the unit. Push the

inner cyclone in and rotate it to the right

until the locking tabs stop the rotation.

CAUTION:

To reduce the risk of injury

from moving parts, turn

off vacuum cleaner and

disconnect power plug

from electrical outlet.
