Clearing a clog
The hose on the back of the vacuum cleaner that carries the dirt from the powerhead to the dust
bag can sometimes become clogged. If you notice a change in the sound of the vacuum motor,
reduction in suction, or if the red indicator shows in the dust bag compartment, check for clogs.
1. First, open the bag compartment and check that the bag is not full. Then check that both the pre-
motor and post-motor filter are clean.
2. Pull the suction hose off the power head port and inspect the hose for clogs. If you have been
using the vacuum for above-floor cleaning, check that there are no clogs in the tool attachments
you were using.
3. While the suction hose is disconnected
from the power head, check the short
length of hose leading to the brush roll.
Also check that no debris has clogged
up the brush roll chamber.
4. Once you have found and cleared the clog, you may resume cleaning.
