You may need to clear the beater bar more frequently if you have pets with long hair.. Once every two months (or when there’s a blockage).

Make sure you place the screws in a safe place, as you’ll need them later.. Once each of the screws has been removed, the V10 battery should slide out of the bottom of the vacuum’s handle.Ensure you follow your local laws when disposing of the old battery..

Tip: The two bottom screws are designed to be at an angle.Keep this in mind when replacing them during the next step..Step 4: Attach And Secure The New Battery.

Now that the old battery has been removed, you can slide the new one into the handle.Use the existing screws (or those supplied with the battery) to secure it into position.. Again, remember that the bottom screws are meant to be at an angle.

Don’t try to force them into a straight position!.

Step 5: Fully Charge The Vacuum.Step 4: Check the Hose and Wand for Clogs.

Remove the wand, then visually inspect it for blockages.. Next, take a look at the hose to see if there are any blockages.If you can remove the hose, then you could also try (gently) pushing the end of a broomstick through to see if there are any clogs deeper in the hose..

If you don’t want to remove the hose, then you can visually expand it section by section while looking for darker clogs inside or breaks in the hose..Step 5: Wash Both the Filters.
