To reassemble, check O-ring on tube, and replace if damaged. Replace tube by first lining up slot at base of tube with tab inside fan housing.

Insert tube and push down until the tube is seated. Make sure O-ring is in place against fan housing opening. Replace and tighten collar until

collar locking tabs are locked in place. Reattach bag spring.

Many times blockage occurs due to a full HEPA Inner bag causing dirt to back down the air flow system. When that

happens, the blockage will be at the top of the system, starting in the area where the HEPA Inner bag connects to the connector assembly.
