If your vacuum cleaner is not
picking up dirt effectively, making
strange noises, or the outer bag is
not expanding, try the following
troubleshooting steps:
1. Check for blockage in the
brushroll area in floor nozzle.
If there is a blockage, remove
it (see page 17). If you cannot
reach the blockage, remove
the lower plate from the
floor nozzle and remove any
blockage around the brushroll
(see page 15-17).
2. If the blockage is not at the
base, remove the tube. First
unhook the retaining spring to
release the bottom of the outer
bag. Then rotate the plastic
loop counter clockwise to
release. Pull the tube out of the
nozzle neck.

3. Check for blockage. If the
blockage is in the tube, remove
it with long-nose pliers or a
screwdriver. If the tube is not
blocked, look into the nozzle
neck. Remove debris with long-
nose pliers or a screwdriver.
4. When reassembling the tube
to the nozzle, check that the
O-ring is in the correct position.
NOTE:
The O-ring on the tube is
essential for maintaining optimal
vacuum cleaner performance.
Without it, suction may be
affected.
5. Slide the O-ring to
approximately 2" from base of
the tube. Re-install the tube
into the nozzle neck of the
floor nozzle and secure with
the O-ring and plastic loop (see
page 8).
6. Blockages can occur when a
full dust bag impedes airflow,
pushing dirt back into the
system. The dust bag should be
replaced monthly, regardless of
fullness. For heavily soiled areas,
more frequent replacements
are necessary.
