Clearing clog

The hose on the back of the vacuum cleaner
that carries the dirt from the powerfoot to the
dust bag can sometimes become clogged.
If you notice a change in the sound of the
vacuum motor or a reduction in suction,
check for clogs.
1.
Unplug cleaner from electrical outlet.
2.
Pull the bag door outward to open and
set aside. Remove the dust bag to check
the suction Inlet for a clog.
3.
Grasp the quick reach handle and lift
up to separate from the lower hose.
Check for a clog in the base, the wand
or the hose.
4.
Release the hose from the upper portion
of the vacuum by turning to the right.
Straighten the hose and unclog with a
long, narrow object.
5.
If the clog persists, turn the vacuum clean-
er OFF and unplug it. Remove the brush
cover. Check the air passageway for
obstructions. See Page 10 for instructions
on how to access the air passageway.
Remove debris from this area. Reposition
brush cover and four screws. Tighten
screws securely. Make sure end of brush
cover is snapped into place.
