Disconnect electrical supply before
servicing or cleaning the unit.

If the cleaner does not seem to have ade-

full or if a filter is clogged. See DUST BIN
CLEANING and FILTER CHANGING.
If the dust bin and filter areas are free of
clogs, check the hose area. Remove exten-
sion hose from the valve assembly by
grasping the hose collar, twisting, and
pulling straight off.

Visually inspect the hose and the base area
into which the hose is connected.
Remove any visible clog.
Re-connect the extension hose to the valve
assembly. Plug in the vacuum and turn it
on. Stretch the hose to maximum length
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 secondary 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 AGITA-
TOR CLEANING.
