Maintenance & Care Clearing Clogs Low suction or poor pickup may be due to a clog in the vacuum cleaner. If you notice a change in the sound of the motor, check for clogs. 1. Turn power button off and unplug vacuum from electrical outlet. 2. Empty dirt bin and check the upper tank for build up or clogs. Refer to cleaning upper tank and inner cyclone section. 3. Check for clogs in the hose by removing the hose from the upper hose inlet and base. a. Grasp the hose collar tabs and turn hose to the left and slide out. b. Remove the hose from the base of the unit and pull out of lower suction inlet. c. Straighten the hose and unclog with a long, narrow object such as a broom handle. d. Reconnect the tabbed hose collar to the upper suction inlet by pressing tabs to insert and release tabs and rotate until locked. Connect the lower hose back into the lower base before operating. NOTE: If removing the hose from the upper hose inlet is difficult, remove the power cord from the upper cord wrap along with the dusting brush for easy access. 4. With the hose removed from the lower hose inlet, check for clogs in the base hose connector. a. If you notice a clog, remove the extension tools from the storage post and remove the screw in the lower hose base connector with a Phillips screwdriver. b. Slide the lower hose collar up out of the tabs and straighten the hose to unclog. Use a long object to reach in and unclog. c. Connect the lower hose collar by lining up the tab grooves with the base and pushing down. Replace the screw back into the base to secure.
