Remove a Clog in the Base
This model has a clean-out port which allows access into the
bottom of the power nozzle in order to remove large debris that
has become lodged in the airway. (See page 3 for location.)
CAUTION: Turn off the power switch and unplug the
electrical cord to service.
1. On the bottom of the power nozzle, locate the transparent
Clean-Out Port Door located between the wheels. (See
page 3.)
2. Remove the port door by squeezing the latch at the back
of the nozzle and rotating the port door forward. No tools
are needed for this step.
3. Locate and remove clog from the power nozzle.
4. Reattach the clean-out port door by inserting the front edge
into position and rotating the door into the base until the
latch snaps into place. Ensure that the latch is secure. Do
not use the vacuum without first reattaching the clean-out
port door.
5. If needed, you may remove the power nozzle from the
main body of the cleaner to locate the clog in the neck of
the power nozzle.
