Clearing clog
low suction, poor pickup, or no suction may be
due to a clog in the vacuum cleaner. If you notice
a change in the sound of the vacuum motor or a
reduction in the spinning action in the dirt
container, check for clogs.
1. Unplug cleaner from electrical outlet.
2. Empty dirt container.
3. Check upper tank and primary separator for
build up or clogs. Check to make sure primary
separator is installed correctly. To unlock the
primary separator , grasp the rim and turn
toward the left. Pull straight down to remove. If
the primary separator is missing or not locked
into place, check and clear the tube in the cen-
ter of the dirt container.
4. Remove the Twist ‘n Snap hose from the
vacuum by turning to the left. Check the
suction inlet, hose and hose wand for clogs.
Remove any clogs from the hose using a
long, narrow object such as a broomstick.
5. Check the foot hose for clogs. If needed,
remove the screw attaching the hose wand
base to the vacuum. Straighten the foot hose
and unclog with a long, narrow object such
as a broomstick.
6. If the clog persists, follow the instructions for
checking the rotating floor brush on page 10
and inspect the air passageway for obstructions.
