MAINTENANCE
CHECK FOR BLOCKAGES
REMOVE AND INSPECT:
1 HANDHELD AND TUBE
Remove the tube from the handheld portion and check all dust cup intake openings. Remove the floor nozzle from the tube
and check the tube for blockages.
2 BOTTOM OF FLOOR NOZZLE
Use a coin to unlock the 3 locks on the bottom of the floor nozzle. A portion of the base is removable to allow for better access
to the brush roll and exposure to the airway. Shine a flashlight from the bottom to check for possible blockage in the airway .
Remove any string, carpet fibers or hair that may be wrapped around the brush roll. There is a groove on the brush bar that
allows a pair of scissors to cut across it to loosen up the debris.
TROUBLE-SHOOTING GUIDE
Vacuum is not picking up dirt.
No suction or light suction.
• Check filters to see if they need cleaning. Follow instructions for rinsing and drying the filters before re-inserting back into the
vacuum.
• Dust cup may be full; empty dust cup.
• Check tube, tube connections, nozzles and accessories for blockages; clear blockages if required.
Vacuum lifts area rugs
• Suction is powerful. Take care when vacuuming area rugs or rugs with delicately sewn edges.
• Turn off the unit to disengage the brush roll and restart with the POWER button.
Brush roll does not spin
• Immediately turn off and unplug vacuum, disconnect the nozzle and remove blockage before reconnecting and turning vacuum
back on.
• This vacuum is equipped with a thermal shut down safety feature in the event that your vacuum over heats. If your vacuum does
shut down, slide the POWER switch to the "O" position and unplug the unit. After about 45 minutes, your vacuum should be ready
to operate again. Plug in the power cord and turn the unit on to begin vacuuming again.
