Suction motor runs but there is almost no suction at the hose or floor tool

Safety: Unplug before disassembly.

• Check hose and cuffs: Inspect the flexible hose for splits or holes. Check both end cuffs for tight fit. Replace the suction hose assembly if damaged.
• Verify tank seating: Ensure the recovery tank is fully seated and the lid is correctly aligned with the body seal.
• Inspect tank inlet: Look inside the tank lid where the hose connects. Remove any clumps of lint or debris blocking the inlet.
• Check gaskets: Inspect the main body-to-tank gasket and hose inlet gasket. Replace any flattened or torn seals/gaskets.
