How do I clear a clog in my bagless upright vacuum?

1. Start by unplugging your vacuum. If you have a cordless vacuum, remove the battery.
2. Then check your bag or dirt cup and empty it if it’s full.
3. Before you reattach the dirt cup, check the elbow pipe for clogs.
4. Next, check your filter and rinse or replace it if it’s dirty.
5. Be sure to let your rinseable filter dry for at least 24 hours.
6. Now we can inspect the hose for clogs. Detach it from the bottom then stretch it to look for obstructions.
7. If the hose comes off completely, Use a long, blunt object to push out any clogs.
8. Finally, remove your wand and make sure it’s clear of obstructions.

How to change your vacuum belt

1. Turn your vacuum over. 
2. Use a screwdriver to take off the 8 screws. Some models only require 6 screws.
3. Remove the bottom plate. 
4. Then take off that old belt. Slide on a new belt with the lettering on the outside. Slip the belt around the brush roll in area without bristles and metal pin. Each end of the brush roll will fit into pockets on each side of the nozzle.
5. Put the plate back on and screw together.
