WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical outlet before servicing.
IMPORTANT:
On plush and new carpets, stufng may occur inside the intake tube and the
lower tube assembly. This is due to excessive fuzz and loose cuttings in the carpet. Stufng
could occur for the rst few cleanings until all the loose material is removed. Due to the
high efciency of the vacuum, many older carpets will cause stufng when the vacuum is
rst used on them. If your vacuum does not pick up properly, or makes unusual noise and the
outer bag does not uff up or balloon open, follow these steps:
Check for blockage at the mouth of the intake opening If there is blockage, remove it
with long-nose pliers, a screwdriver or coat hanger.
Twist lower collar counterclockwise to slide up. Pull tube out of base. Check for
blockage. If blockage is in the tube, remove with a coat hanger.
If tube is not blocked, look into fan housing. Remove debris with long-nose pliers, a
screwdriver or coat hanger.
