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, check for clogs.
1. Unplug the vacuum 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,
flip the separator plate down, remove
the debris barrier, and remove the
article causing the clog. Replace debris
barrier and flip separator door back
to its original position. (see section
"Cleaning the Upper Tank" on page
16).
5. Grasp the curved wand and separate
it from the hose wand base. Check for
a clog in the base, the wand or in the
hose.
NOTE: On select units that have
the clean filter indicator, when the
indicator reads black, there is a
clog in the hose which is diminish-
ing suction power. Remove the
clog in the hose to restore full suc-
tion power.
6. Remove the Twist 'n Snap hose from the
vacuum by turning to the right. Straighten
the hose and unclog with a long, narrow
object.
7. If you notice debris or dirt clogged in
the connecting tube, remove it by
pulling it out at the top and lifting the
tube out. Clean the tube of any debris
and clear any possible clog from the
port to the pre-motor filter. Reattach tube
by first installing the base and then push
in the top of the tube.
8. If the clog persists, follow the
instructions for checking the rotating
floor brush and drive belt on page 12
and inspect the air passageway for
obstructions.
