and drying the filters before re-inserting back into the vacuum. (See
"Maintenance" sections for instructions.)
Dust cup may be full; empty dust cup.
Check hose and hose connections for blockages; clear blockages if required.
If dust cup is empty, and attachment inlets are clear, check for other
blockages. (See "Checking for Blockages" for instructions.)
Suction is powerful. Take care when vacuuming scatter-type rugs or rugs
with delicately sewn edges. Open the suction release on the handle to
decrease suction power.

2. Unplug the vacuum.
3. Empty the dust cup and clean filters.
