Disconnect electrical supply before
servicing or cleaning the unit.

pulling straight off.
Visually inspect the hose and the base area
into which the hose is connected.
The nozzle hoses may be removed at
either end in order to remove clogs.
Remove any visible dog.
Re-connect the extension hose to the valve
assembly. Plug in the vacuum and turn it
on. Stretch the hose to maximum rength
and then allow the hose to return to its stor-
age length.
Turn the unit off and unplug the unit.
Remove dust bin and check dust bin port
and filter screen for clogs. If the dust bin
and filter areas and the hose areas are free
of clogs, check the nozzle area. To check
this area, see the section on AGITATOR
