Cleaning clogs
Low suction or poor pickup may be due to a clog
in the vacuum cleaner. If you notice a change in
the sound of the motor or a reduction in the
spinning action, check for clogs.
1. Unplug cleaner from electrical outlet.
2. Empty Dirt Container.
3. Check Upper Tank for build up or clogs.
4. Remove the secondary cyclone and check
the suction inlet for a clog.
5. Grasp the Hose Grip and lift to separate from
the suction opening. Check for a clog in the
Base or the Hose.
6. Release the Twist n' Snap hose from the
vacuum by turning to the left. Straighten the
hose and unclog with a long, narrow object
such as a broomstick.
7. If the low suction persists, follow the
instructions for Checking the Rotating Brush
on page 11 and inspect the Air Passageway
for obstructions.
