CHANGING BELT OR BRUSHES
This cleaner is unlikely to become blocked, except by
over lling of the dust container or accidentally picking
up large solid objects. Clearing a blockage is simple.
If cleaning tools were in use,
check cleaning tool and exten-
sion tube rst. Next check
hose handgrip; to remove, grip
ribbed ring as shown, turn in
direction of arrow and ease
apart.
To check the hose, stretch it
to full length and switch on the
cleaner; the suction will dislodge most obstructions. If this
is unsuccessful, switch off and
unplug the cleaner. Remove
the hose by turning it anti-
clockwise as shown. Detach
cassette and remove blockage.
For blockages in cleaner base:
1. Turn the cleaner over and
check that the brushes are
free to rotate.
2. Check for a blockage in
hose socket. Use a piece of
wire or a blunt exible rod
to remove any obstructions.
CLEARING A BLOCKAGE

off and remove the plug from the
electricity supply before dismantling
