How to Check and Clear Hose Blockages

Low suction or poor pickup may be due to a blockage in 

the vacuum cleaner.

  1. Remove hose from hose retainer and check suction at end 

of hose - if little or no suction, check disposable dust bag. 

Change if needed. If no improvement proceed to step 2.

CAUTION: Turn  off  the  switch  and  unplug  the 

electrical cord before clearing hose.

  2. Remove electrical cord from cord hooks. Disconnect the 

clear tube by turning quarter turn fastener to the right to 

release, then lift away from cleaner.

    Check for any obstructions that may be in the tube. Any 

obstructions can be removed by using a blunt instrument 

to clear the tube. 

  3. To completely release hose from the unit, remove two 

screws. 

    Any  obstructions  can  be  removed  by  using  a  blunt 

instrument to clear the hose. Flexing the hose may help 

loosen the blockage.

After clearing blockage, reverse above steps to reassemble unit.
