• I've used a metal coat hanger, taken apart, to use as a ramrod to get this kind of thing out.....yes, I've had that happen too

• Separate the hose from the unit and disassemble at the handle. You should be able to access the obstruction with either your fingers or by running a long handle tool through the hose.

• If you take the hose off of the vacuum by pressing the release in the body of the vacuum and the other where the handle goes in the tube, you can try shaking it out or using a straightened metal hanger or yard stick to push it out.

• Coat hangers are your best option as they are firm, but malleable.

• Hi, That is a good question. For safety purposes, we would recommend you not try to do anything without calling the company directly first, using the contact information provided on the last page of your manual. Hope this helps. Thanks Best Regards, Customer Service Team
