Troubleshooting Guide
PROBLEM POSSIBLE REASONS & SOLUTIONS
Vacuum is not
picking up dirt.
Check Filters to see if they need cleaning. Follow
instructions for rinsing and drying the Filters before re-
inserting back into the Vacuum. (See “Maintenance”
sections for instructions.)
Dust Cup may be full; empty Dust Cup.
Check Hose and Hose connections for blockages; clear
blockages if required.
If Dust Cup is empty, and attachment inlets are clear, check
for other blockages. (See “Checking for Blockages” for
instructions.)
Vacuum lifts scatter
rugs (lightweight,
movable rugs).
Because the suction is powerful, take care when vacuuming
scatter-type rugs or rugs with delicately sewn edges.
Airflow is restricted.
No suction or light
suction.
Check Filters to see if they need cleaning. Follow
instructions for rinsing and drying the Filters before re-
inserting back into the Vacuum. (See “Maintenance”
sections for instructions.)
Dust Cup may be full; empty Dust Cup.
Check Hose and Hose connections for suction strength;
clear blockages if required.
If Dust Cup is empty, and attachment inlets are clear, check
for other blockages. (See “Checking for Blockages” for
instructions.)
Vacuum turns off
on its own.
This vacuum cleaner is equipped with a motor protective
thermostat. If for some reason your vacuum overheats, the

occur, perform the following steps to restart the motor
thermostat:
1. Move the Power Button to the “O” (Off) position.
2. Unplug the vacuum.
3. Empty the Dust Cup and clean Filters. (See
“Maintenance” sections for instructions.)

opening. (See “Checking for Blockages” for instructions.)

6. Plug in the vacuum.
7. Turn the Power Switch to the “I” (On) position to restart
the vacuum.
