not operate the wand release catch. Switch ‘OFF’ and unplug. Failure to
do so could result in personal injury.
LOOKING FOR BLOCKAGES
• Switch ‘OFF’ and unplug before looking for blockages. Failure to do so
could result in personal injury.
• Leave to cool down for 1-2 hours before checking the filters or
for blockages.
• Clear any blockage before restarting.
• Look for blockages in the wand, airways and cleaner head.
• To release the hose from the machine, you will need to remove the wand.
• Open the wand release cap.
• Pull the wand up and away from the handle.
• Press the yellow release button in the connecting collar and remove the
wand from the hose.
• Remove the clear bin and cyclone unit. Then release the hose from the
machine by pressing the silver tab on the base of the hose –you can see it
from the front of the machine.
• Check for blockages in the hose.
• Beware of sharp objects when checking for blockages.
• To refit the hose, align the guides on the base of the hose with the channels
in the neck of the airway. Ensure the silver tab faces the front of the
machine. Push the hose on. It will click into place. To refit the wand follow
the instructions in the ‘Operation’ section.
• To remove the base plate to access an obstruction, see ‘Base plate –
disassembly/reassembly’.
• To look for blockages in the front airway between the ball and the
cleaner head you will need to remove the cleaner head: see ‘Base plate –
disassembly/reassembly’ below on how to do this.
• To look for blockages in the rear airway between the ball and the cleaner
head you will need to release the hose. Hold and slide the silver cuff out.
Check thoroughly for blockages and slot back into place.
• Beware of sharp objects when checking for blockages.
• To look for blockages in the ball, open the clear plastic inlet on the top.
• Refit all parts securely before using.
• Clearing blockages is not covered by your warranty.
BRUSH BAR – CLEARING OBSTRUCTIONS
• If your brush bar is obstructed, it may shut ‘OFF’. If this happens, you will
need to remove the blockage.
• Switch ‘OFF’ and unplug before proceeding. Failure to do so could result
in personal injury.
• Beware of sharp objects when clearing obstructions.
• If you still cannot clear the obstruction, please follow the instructions
below to remove the base plate. This gives more access to the obstruction.
Alternatively, contact a Dyson expert on the Dyson Helpline or visit the
website. Clearing brush bar obstructions is not covered by your warranty.
BASE PLATE – DISASSEMBLY/REASSEMBLY
• Switch ‘OFF’ and unplug before proceeding. Failure to do so could result
in personal injury.
• Lay the machine on its front.
• Detach the silver ‘C’ clip which is on the connection between the cleaner
head and the machine. It is quite firm, but do not pull it off roughly. Use a
constant, firm pressure.
• Pull the cleaner head away from the machine. Use a constant,
firm pressure.
• At each end of the cleaner head there are 2 silver levers:
– swing them out at right angles
– hinge the base plate open.
• Beware of sharp objects when clearing obstructions.
• To refit the base plate, hinge it closed.
• To secure the base plate push both silver levers back into position so they
are flush with the surface of the cleaner head.
• Refit the silver ‘C’ clip onto the cleaner head. The flatter edge of the clip
fits against the cleaner head. It is easier to slide one lug into its slot before
the other.
• Lay the machine on its back.
• Attach the cleaner head by sliding it on to the connections on the lower
front part of the ball. Ensure the electrical plug on the cleaner head fits into
the twin - block connection on the body of the machine, which is directly
above the airway. Push firmly: the cleaner head will click into place.
