CLEARING A BLOCKAGE

!
IMPORTANT: Switch the cleaner
off and remove the plug from the
electricity supply before dismantling
cleaner.
This cleaner is unlikely to become blocked, except by
over filling of the dust container or accidentally picking
up large solid objects. Clearing a blockage is simple.
If cleaning tools were in use,
check cleaning tool and exten-
sion tube first. Next check
hose handgrip; to remove grip
ribbed ring as shown, turn in
direction of arrow and ease
apart.
To check the hose, stretch it
to full length and switch on the
cleaner; the suction will dis-
lodge most obstructions. If this
is unsuccessful, switch off and
unplug the cleaner. Remove
the hose by turning it anti-
clockwise as shown. Detach
cassette and remove blockage.
For blockages in cleaner base:
1. Turn the cleaner over and
check that the brushes are
free to rotate.
2. Check for a blockage in
hose socket. Use a piece of
wire or a blunt flexible rod
to remove any obstructions.
