How do you put on the attachment hose to clean sta...

A modern cylinder type cleaner often uses a stair attachment with a rotating brush bar that is driven by a turbine driven by the air passing through the attachment. If the brush bar turns easily by hand then it isn't jammed and the fault could be related to a loss of suction reducing the amount of air being consumed by the vacuum.

Try servicing the cleaner; emptying it, cleaning/replacing the filters and ensuring the internal and external hoses are completely clear,

Check the hose. Take the hose off the vacuum cleaner, if possible. If the clog doesn't shake out, try running something down the hose. Don't poke a hole in the hose.

There is something lodged in the attachment clogging it up.

on the rear of this model there is a suction port that you can open to attach the hose and tools

1. remove recovery tank lid
2. remove tank duct from front of tank
3. slide flat end of hose into slot where tank duct was<open side up>
4. place tank lid back on
5. open water hose door on hood
6. push waterline onto spickett
7. clean your stairs.

best of luck

It may be necessary to remove air from
the system (“prime the pump”) so the
clean solution will flow to the tool properly. Follow
these steps:
1. Attach tool to hose and turn the deep
cleaner ON.
2. Put the tool on a hard surface or
against your hand to block off the suction.
3. Wait a few seconds (can take up to
15 seconds). Then squeeze the trigger
and begin cleaning.

The attachment hose is torn right where it connects to the motor . And there should be a trigger on the end of the hose right below where it connects to the hand tool.

There is a portable shampooer/sprayer that attaches to the hose ( the long one that makes the kirby a canister vacuum). It should have come with your attachments. Looks a bit like a gun without the tank attached to the bottom...the tank screws on.

To use it you would put the fingerguard attachment on the front of the kirby where the powerhead would normally go and the hose with the portable shampooer where the bag would go.

The tank on the portable sprayer/shampooer has lines to indicate how much water and shampoo are needed.

Be sure to put the mesh nozzle (sort of a triangular shaped thing with a piece of mesh along the front that attaches to the front of the portable sprayer) on the front of the portable sprayer if you want to shampoo..otherwise it will just spray a mist. The triangular piece with the mesh screen is what produces suds.

Vacuum the furniture/stairs thoroughly before shampooing. Cover the stairs/furniture with a thick coat of suds. Once covered with suds, pop the suds into the fabric/carpet using your hands...working the bubbles into any heavily soiled areas with a soft brush. No need to vacuum after shampooing. There is only about 10 percent water to 90 percent air in the suds.

Then let it dry. 15 minutes to and hour depending on the amount of solution used. Hope this helps!!!

Did you put the duct in for the hose? It goes in front of the tank, take out the duct (#3)that is there and put in the duct that is on the end of the hose. Is there a slit somewhere in the hose, if so you will loose suction.

Take off the brush that is on the end of the hose, then attach your stair cleaner on the end of the hose.
