How to check and clear hose blockages
Note: Low suction or poor pick up may be due to a blockage in the vacuum cleaner.
Turn off the switch and unplug the electrical cord before clearing hose.
1. Remove hose and check suction at end of hose-if little or no suction, check
disposal dust bag. Change if needed. If no improvement proceed to step 2.
2. Remove the handle from the vacuum cleaner by removing the two screws and
sliding the handle towards the rear.
3. Loosen another two screws, disconnect the attachment hose from the unit. Check
for any obstructions that may be in the hose. Any obstructions can be removed by
using a blunt instrument to clear the hose. Flexing the hose may help loosen the
clog.
4. Reinstall the hose after cleaning the clog. Make sure the hose is inserted into the
top of the vacuum cleaner before reattaching the handle.
