I took my Bissell Pro Heat 2X apart because it was not dispensing cleaning solution properly. I checked all hoses and clamps and am attempting to re-assemble. I do not know where two of the clear hoses go and can't find a schematic. Any assistance would be appreciated. Lisa

Take the cover off the pump mechanism & remove the screws on the flat plastic panel that covers the bottom mechanical pieces.
BE CAREFUL...everything needs to go back in the original place in order to put it all back together.

From the front of the machine looking at the pump, you will see four nozzles pointing down. The tubes are connected to the nozzles and secured by compression fit and metal clamps. For purposes of explaining, I will refer to them as nozzles 1-2-3-4, going left to right.

Also, there is a black plastic piece on the right side that curves to the left...it reminds me of a crooked chimney. There are two more nozzles on left side of this piece. I will refer to them as TOP & BOTTOM.

There are a couple more locations with nozzles also. I will do my best to describe them later.

Nozzle 1:
This is a fairly short piece of tubing.
One end attaches to nozzle 1. The other end attaches to a nozzle that protrudes from the front of the pump.

Nozzle 2:
This tube goes under the flat black plastic panel.
One end attaches to the second nozzle & the other attaches to the nozzle located at the point where the clean water is dispersed from the bladder.

Nozzle 3:
This is a VERY short tube.
One end of the tube attaches to Nozzle 3 & the other attaches to a nozzle on the pump which is located directly under it.

Nozzle 4:
This is a longer section of tubing.
Behind the pump, there are two other nozzles. Look for the one that is recessed. Attach one end of the tube to Nozzle 4 and the other to the nozzle in the center of the recessed area. This MUST be clamped even though you cannot reach the nozzle with your fingers. Needle nose pliers will work.

BOTTOM Nozzle:
In the same general area, there is a white cylindrical tube with a nozzle at the top. Attach one end of the tubing to this nozzle and the other to the Bottom nozzle on the curved black chimney-like tube.

TOP Nozzle:
There is a piece of tubing wrapped in a metal coil that originates from under the black plastic panel and protrudes above. This piece of tubing should be attached to the TOP nozzle on the "chimney" piece.

The tubing attached TO the nozzles on the curved black chimney were not clamped.

Make sure all of the others are clamped though.

I hope that helps.

I've taken some pictures of the inside of my Bissell Proheat 2x Plus and posted them here:
