CLEARING THE BRUSH ROLL

Obstructions such as hair, string, and throw rugs may cause the red brush indicator light to be illuminated and the power nozzle to shut off.

1.

Turn off vacuum and unplug power cord from outlet.

2.

CLEARING HOSE & WAND

Obstructions in hoses and wands may reduce or eliminate suction.

1.

Familiarize yourself with air flow path and possible obstruction locations

(Figure B).

2.

To determine obstruction location, remove wand from port. (Figure C). Turn on vacuum and place hand over wand opening to check for proper suction.

If no suction exists, blockage is at location A or B (as shown in Figure B) and proceed to Step 3. If there is proper suction, the blockage is at location C or

D (as shown in Figure B) and proceed to Step 5.

. 2). Look into upper hose and wand. Shake or insert broom handle to clear any visible debris. Replace hose and wand on vacuum.

If blockage is not in the wand or upper hose, disconnect the lower air duct hose on the back of the power nozzle (F

IG

3). Visually check the lower air duct hose for debris and remove. To check for unobstructed air flow, turn on vacuum and place hand over opening on lower air duct. If you feel proper suction, reconnect lower air duct and resume vacuuming. If blockage is not in lower air duct hose, proceed to step 6.

With bottom air duct hose and upper hose and wand disconnected, carefully insert a broom handle (or any similar item like a short length of hose, pipe, etc) approximately 14 inches into wand guide on top of vacuum housing

(Figure D) to dislodge obstruction or debris. Debris should then drop or move into the lower air duct hose where you can then remove it with your hand

Reconnect the lower air duct hose and upper hose assembly, and turn on the vacuum.
