12. Removing Blockages
If the orange bag full indicator (27) is showing after the filter bag has been changed and the
filters are in good condition, there is possibly a blockage in the system. First, check for
suction at the end of the hose (8). If you can only feel a small amount of suction, the
blockage is in the hose.
To unblock, loosen the safety ring (32) on the lid. Remove the hose from the machine and
reverse the airflow through the hose by putting the hose handle (9) in the connecting tube of
the filter cover (6). Stretch the hose in the spot where the blockage is and open and close the
end of the hose.
Also check the suction opening, which the hose handle (9) fits into.
Note – Never clean down the hose with a stick or pointed object.
Other places to check for a blockage include the suction neck (14) of the power head and
the orange trap-door (34) on the bottom of the power head. Also check between these two
openings in the power head. 32
