- Check the hose for any built up debris, and use the handle of a broom to remove.
- After checking the hose, please be sure to securely connect the hose back to your vacuum.
- We also recommend checking the filter by removing it from your vacuum and tapping out any built up dirt/debris that could be resting on it.
- Rinse the filter with water until the water runs clear and allow a dry time of 24 hours. Please note, if your filter says do not rinse, it must be replaced if dirty.
- Ensure all parts are reassembled correctly and your dirt cup or bag is empty.

- If this is successful, your vacuum maintenance has been completed and your product is ready for normal use!
