How to Clear Blockages in Hose
CAUTION: Turn off the switch and unplug the electrical cord before
periodic maintenance.
Step 1:
Firmly pull the end of the hose from the hose retainer on the
hood of the vacuum (FIG. 26).
Step 2:
Check for blockages in the hose and hose retainer. Flexing the
hose may help loosen any blockage.
If no blockage is found,
continue to step 4.
If blockage is found, clear the blockage and
replace the hose in the hose retainer.
If the blockage is in the
hose retainer and cannot be cleared, continue to step 3.
Step 3:
Remove the hood from the cleaner and check for a blockage in
the brushroll area (FIG. 27). Make sure the hose inlet is clear.
If no blockage is found, continue to step 4.
After the blockage
is found and cleared, replace the hood on the cleaner.
Step 4:
Twist the hose from the coupling elbow on the back of cleaner.
Check for blockages at cleaner opening and in hose (FIG. 28). If a
blockage is found, clear the blockage. The screw attaching the
clear hose adapter can be removed for better access to a
blockage.
Step 5:
Screw the hose back onto the back of the cleaner and replace
the other end of the hose into the hose retainer on the hood of
vacuum.
