Clearing clogs

Low suction or poor pickup may be due to

a clog in the vacuum cleaner. If you notice

a change in the sound of the motor or a

reduction in the spinning action in the dirt

container, check for a clog.

If there is no suction or if suction is reduced

at the hose, follow these steps to check for

and clear the clog:

1. Turn power switch off.

2. Unplug cleaner from electrical outlet.

3. Check the pre-motor filter and clean as

necessary (see Cleaning your pre-motor

filter, page 10).

4. Check the HEPA filter cartridge and

replace if necessary (see Replacing the

HEPA filter cartridge, page 11).

5. Check to see if dirt container is full.

Empty if needed.

6. Remove lower portion of dirt container.

Clean the screen and check center

tubes for dirt accumulation.

7. While dirt container is removed, check

dirt inlet for clogs.

8. Remove the hose from the vacuum by

pushing in on the tab on the bottom left

of the vacuum. Once removed, straighten

the hose and check for a clog.

9. Check diverter area at back of machine

for diverter position and clogs. When the

hose is removed from the hose base, the

diverter should be up to the right. If

a clog is visible near the diverter, the

plastic cover may be removed to clear

the clog by removing the 3 screws.
