10
NOTE! K3 users with ET-H or ET-1 power heads, please refer to your power head
user’s manual for more detailed instructions for removing clogs in your power head.
If the “bag full or clog” warning light (10) remains illuminated after the filter bag
has been changed and the filters are in good condition, there is likely a clog in the
system.
Clogs in the Head or Brush - Figure 20
Clogs in the swivel neck (57) of a head or brush can be cleared by first pressing the
tool release button (7) and removing the brush or head. Check inside the swivel neck
channel (56), and clean out pathway.
Clogs in the Telescopic Tube - Figure 20
Remove head from telescopic tube (4) by pushing the tool release button (7) and
pulling the tube out. Remove the hose from the top of the telescopic tube by pushing
the handle release button (3). A stiff wire or stick can be used to push the clog out of
the tube.
Clogs in the Hose - Figures 21, 22 & 23
Check for suction at the end of the hose (19). If you feel reduced suction, the blockage
is in the hose. To clear blockages in the hose (13), remove the telescopic tube (4) by
pushing the tool release button (7) and pulling the tube out. Hold the hose upright with
one hand blocking the top and switch on the machine. If necessary, quickly lift your
hand on and off the end of the hose. If that does not clear the clog, you may also clear
clogs by reversing the hose. K3: After removing the telescopic tube, push the release
button (18) on the hose neck (6) and remove the hose from the machine.
K2: After removing the telescopic tube, squeeze the tabs (37) on the retaining ring and
pull the hose neck out.
Remove the hose handle (1) from the telescopic tube by pressing the handle release
button (2). Insert the handle end of the hose (1) into the suction opening (17). Hold the
hose upright with one hand blocking the top and switch on the machine. If necessary,
quickly lift your hand on and off the end of the hose.
Note: Do not insert a wire or stick into the hose. Doing so may cause damage to the
hose.
