Clearing clogs
Low suction or poor pickup may be due to a clog
in the vacuum. If this occurs, the LED full dirt
tank indicator light will turn yellow and indicate
airflow is restricted.
If there is no suction or if suction is reduced at
the hose, follow these steps to clear the clog:
1. Unplug vacuum from electrical outlet.
2. Check the filter and clean as necessary (see
cleaning your filters above and on page 10).
3. Check to see if dirt tank is full. Empty if
needed.
4. Check wet/dry or blower outlet for clogs.
If the clog is contained near the top of the hose
(close to the unit), follow these steps:
1. Attach hose to the wet/dry inlet and turn the
power on.
2. This should dislodge the clog by sucking in
debris.
