If you are experiencing suction trouble, we’ll show you how to take care of it
- Start by turning off and unplugging your machine
- Before you begin, you will need a Phillips screwdriver
- First make sure the variable suction valve is at the right setting
- For full suction, turn the valve clockwise until it stops turning
- Next make sure the dirt tank is seated properly
- Push the tank release button and pull the tank outward
- To correctly insert the tank, place the front of the tank first and push back until you hear a click
- Next check your hose for any cracks or holes
- Remove by pulling one end out of the base and turning the other end counter-clockwise and out
- Use a broomstick handle by pushing through the opening of the hose to clear any potential clogs
- Make sure the hose is secure in the base
- Check if there is a clog in the machine. Remove the tank and check the suction inlet for any debris
- Below this, you can find the foam and fiber filter. First remove the filter cover by pulling the tab up. Then pinch the filters and lift to remove them
- While holding the filter over a trash bin, gently separate the filter layers. Then shake out the excess debris
- The filters can be rinsed in warm water. Before replacing, make sure they are completely dry
- The pleated post-motor filter is not washable. Gently tap the filter on the side of a trash bin to remove debris
- To put the post motor filter back on, push it towards the base until you hear a click. Then replace the filter cover and dirt tank
- With the machine unplugged, lay the vacuum back to expose the brush roll
- Remove the 8 screws from the brush cover using your Phillips screwdriver. Then lift the cover off the vacuum
- Grab both ends of the brush and slide off the belt to remove it
- Clear any debris on the brush roll or in the brush housing area and empty into a trash bin
- To inspect the brush roll, set it on its end and spin it by flicking it once. If it doesn’t spin freely it is time to replace your brush roll
- Inspect your belt, if it is broken or damaged it will need to be replaced
- Place the new belt over the motor pulley and stretch the other end over the brush roll
- Replace the brush the roll by placing the belt-side of the brush in first, then turning the other end until it slides into place
- When the brush roll is in, turn it to align the belt
- Replace the bottom cover by reinserting the 8 screws using your Phillips screwdriver
