WARNING! To Reduce the Risk of Electrical 
Shock or Injury From Moving Parts, Unplug 
Before Servicing or Cleaning.

The hose located on the back of the vacuum 
carries the dirt from the nozzle to the 
vacuum bag. The hose also functions as the 
attachment cleaning hose. First check to see 
that a bag is properly installed.

There are three areas to check if you 
suspect a clog in the hose:

•  Turn the Suction Dial to the open position. 

Remove the clog or blockage (Fig. 1).

•  Turn the vacuum over and remove the 

bottom plate (See page 18). Check the 
nozzle inlet tube for obstructions (Fig. 2). 
Clear the tube and reinstall the bottom plate.

•  Turn the vacuum over and remove the 

bottom plate (See page 18). Remove one 
screw at the base of the nozzle hose (Fig. 3). 
Clear the hose of blockage and replace the 
screw. Reinstall the bottom plate.
