1) Firmly pull the end
of the hose from the
hose retainer on the
back of the vacuum.
2) Check for blockages
in the hose and hose
retainer. Flexing the
hose may help loosen
any blockage. If no
blockage is found,
continue to step 4.
If blockage is found,
clear the blockage
and replace the hose
in the hose retainer.
If the blockage is in
the hose retainer and
cannot be cleared,
continue to step 3.
3) Remove the hood
from the cleaner (see
page 24) and check
for a blockage in the
brushroll area. Make
sure the hose inlet
is clear. If there is a
blockage in the hose
inlet, press the handle
release to lay the hood
flat on the ground.
Use a round, dull, long
object to push the
clog out from the hose
inlet. If no blockage
is found, continue
to step 4. After the
blockage is found and
cleared, replace the
hood on the cleaner.

back onto the back
of the cleaner and
replace the other
end of the hose into
the hose retainer.
