I think you are referring to the stair/upholstery tool. Attach the hose
to the machine...turn the pump and vacuum on and use....liquid is
dispensed when you squeeze the handle on the tool..
Dear Anon, I'm not familiar enough with the Dyson units to know exactly what the stair attachment is or what it looks like. If it is an attachment to connects to the end of the hose then it should come off the same way it went on. I usually use a twist/pull method to get these types of attachments off of the wands. If this method fails try getting something metal, very flat, that can be used to slide along the side of the wand striking the flat side of the attachment connector. This action sometimes loosens the connector enough to allow it to be removed.
If these methods don't work for you, you may have to break down and take to a vac repair shop and ask a repair tech to help you. Good luck!
The 2 metal pins of the motorized brush are not in contact with the vacuum cleaner. or the Motorized brush is clogged up. You have mentioned that it is cleaned, but still give a thorough inspection. For the metal pins, firmly insert the motorized brush into the air-intake nozzle. This will connect the motorized nozzle to the unit power supply.
HERE is the manual When rating my solution rate the clarity of the explanation NOT whatever you like Kirby stair shampoo system. I do not believe this is the way to shampoo either but this is not me who designed it. Will get the job done but it is a lot of scrubbing and rubbing.
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!!!
