Maintenance and care Clearing clogs Low suction or poor pickup may be due to a clog in the vacuum. If you notice a change in the sound of the vacuum motor, check for clogs. 1. Turn power OFF. Unplug power cord from electrical outlet. 2. Empty Dirt Container and check upper tank for build up or clogs. If you notice a clog in the upper tank, remove the inner cyclone screen as instructed on page 10. 3. Check the pre-motor filter and clean as necessary as instructed in Cleaning PreMotor Filter section. 4. Check the post-motor filter and replace if necessary as instructed in Replacing Post-Motor Filter section. Please note that the white, pleated post-motor filter is not washable and must be replaced. 5. Grasp hose end and separate from hose base located towards bottom of the 5 vacuum by the wheel. Check for a clog in the hose or in hose base. If you notice a clog in the base of the vacuum, remove the screw at the top left of the hose base. Lay the hose base flat and unclog with a long, narrow object such as a broom handle. Be sure to reassemble hose base with screw before operating vacuum. 6. Remove the Twist 'n Snap hose end 6 from the vacuum by turning to the left. Straighten the hose and unclog with a long, narrow object such as a broom handle. 7. If clog persists, follow instructions for checking the rotating brush and drive belt on page 12 and inspect air passageway for obstructions. 14 www.bissell.com 800.237.7691
