A comprehensive Operating and Service Manual. All schematics are complete and easy to read. The PCB drawings and complete parts list are very helpful. I would definitely recommend this manual.
Genuine Toshiba owner's manual. Couldn't really ask for more. And written in understandable English in contrast to a few recent experiences I have had with manuals for other equipment other than Toshiba but made in China and written in "Chinglish"!

How to Check and Clear Hose Blockages
Low suction or poor pickup may be due to a blockage in the vacuum cleaner. 1. Remove hose and check suction at end of hose - if little or no suction, check disposable dust bag. Change if needed. If no improvement proceed to step 2. NOTE: Turn off the switch and unplug the electrical cord before clearing hose. 2. Disconnect the hose adapter from the unit. Press adapter button on hose adapter and lift up. Check for any obstructions that may be in the hose. Any obstructions can be removed by using a blunt instrument to clear the hose. Flexing the hose may help loosen the clog. 3. Reinstall the hose after clearing the clog. Insert the hose adapter button into the bag compartment tube hole. Lift up on the hose adapter to be sure it is secured. NOTE: If no improvement in performance on carpet, proceed to following page. 1. Remove hose and check suction at end of hose.
