  • Lift off the dirt cup and empty if needed

    • Snap dirt cup down into place with a click

    • Verify the air regulator on handle is set for high suction

      • Open = less suction
    • Ensure filters are clean and correctly installed

      • Lift off dirt up and unclip dirt cup lid, then pivot backwards
      • Pull filter upwards to remove
      • Take out the cyclone screen by gripping the two tabs
      • Twist counter-clockwise until you hear a click, then pull straight up
      • Cyclone filter screen, dirt cup filter and foam filter can be hand washed in cold water with mild detergent
      • Rinse well and completely air dry (24-48 hours) before reinstalling
      • Attach cyclone filter screen into dirt cup by placing back into position, lining up “close” with the tab below dirt cup lid hinge
      • Twist clockwise to lock
      • Place pre-motor filter on top with foam side facing down
      • Close dirt cup lid and replace dirt container
      • To check post-motor filter,

      • Replace filter door by placing tabs on bottom of filter door into notches on bottom of post-motor filter compartment
      • Push tab forward (back into machine) to lock into place
    • Inspect entire hose for cracks or holes

      • If damaged, a replacement hose needs to be ordered
    • Disconnect hose and check for a clog in suction opening

    • Turn machine on and place hand over intake where hose attaches

      • If suction at intake and no debris blocking, hose is clogged
      • Work clog loose by massaging clogged area and/or gently twisting hose where clogged until it works itself free
      • Push broomstick through hose to clear clog if needed
    • Make sure hose is securely attached to suction opening

    • Plug machine in and try again
