How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before cleaning the nozzle or brush.

  • Clean spray bar: Remove the spray bar and clean all jets thoroughly. Ensure a uniform spray pattern across the width.
  • Inspect brush: Check the brush roller for worn or flattened bristles. Replace if bristles are uneven or heavily worn.
  • Clear suction slot: Clean the suction channel at the front of the floor head to ensure even pickup.
  • Adjust technique: Overlap passes slightly and pull the machine back slowly to allow proper extraction.
