REMOVING DEBRIS FROM DIRTBLASTER
Sometimes debris may clog the bottom of the cleaner and prevent the flapper from moving. This will restrict the flow of the cleaner. The flapper is located in side the main body and must move freely at all times. You can see the flapper through the opening in the baffle plate when the cleaner is turned upside down. Try the following to remove the debris and free the flapper:
- Move the flapper back and forth to dislodge the debris
- Flush the cavity of the cleaner with a garden hose to free the debris
- If debris is still lodged inside the cleaner, you must remove the flapper:
- Take out the four red plugs in the foot pad on the bottom of the cleaner.
- Once the plugs are removed, unscrew the four screws from the foot pad.
- Remove the foot pad from the cleaner body.
- Then remove the single screw from the plate and slide plate out of main body.
- This exposes the flapper and it can now be pulled out.
- Remove any debris that may be inhibiting the flappe.
- Once clear, insert the flapper back into the body.
- Slide the plate back into position and re-screw it into place.
- Re-install the foot pad.
