Unclogging The Nozzle And Hose - Riccar Vibrance R20S Owner's Manual

Unclogging the Nozzle and Hose

WARNING! To Reduce the Risk of Electrical
Shock or Injury From Moving Parts, Unplug
Before Servicing or Cleaning.
The hose located on the back of the vacuum
carries the dirt from the nozzle to the
vacuum bag. The hose also functions as the
attachment cleaning hose. First check to see
that a bag is properly installed.
If the Hose Becomes Clogged
There are three areas to check if you
suspect a clog in the hose:
Suction Dial
• Turn the Suction Dial to the open position.
Remove the clog or blockage (Fig. 1).
Nozzle Inlet Tube
• Turn the vacuum over and remove the
bottom plate (See page 18). Check the
nozzle inlet tube for obstructions (Fig. 2).
Clear the tube and reinstall the bottom plate.
Nozzle Hose
• Turn the vacuum over and remove the
bottom plate (See page 18). Remove one
screw at the base of the nozzle hose (Fig. 3).
Clear the hose of blockage and replace the
screw. Reinstall the bottom plate.
