REMOVING BLOCKAGES
If your bag full indicator light remains lit after
you have changed bags and/or filters this is
an indication that there may be a blockage
somewhere in your unit.
It is important to keep all areas of the
system free from blockage, as this may
damage your unit or its components.
Check for suction at the end of hose. If
you can only feel a small amount of
suction, there is a block in your hose.
To remove:
1. Loosen the safety ring on
the lid.
2. Remove the hose from the
machine.
3. Reverse the airflow through
the hose by putting the hose
handle in the connecting
tube of the filter cover.
4. Stretch the hose in the spot
where the blockage may be
and open/close the end of
hose until blockage is
removed.
Check the suction port at the opening
for the hose handle. Remove any
debris you may find.
Check the suction neck of the power
head. Remove any debris you may
find.
Check the trap-door on the bottom of
the power head. Remove any debris
you may find.
Check between the suction neck and
trap-door within the power head, as
obstacles may become lodged in the
travel path. Remove any debris you
may find.
Never clean down
the hose with a stick
or pointed object.
