Water leaks from the front or sides of the floor nozzle while cleaning.

Safety first: Turn off and unplug the unit. Remove the floor nozzle from the machine.

• Inspect nozzle body: Check the floor nozzle for cracks, especially around the spray bar and suction channel.
• Check gaskets: Examine the nozzle-to-body gasket and any seals around the spray bar. Replace if flattened, torn, or missing.
• Tighten jets: Ensure all spray jet fittings are snug. Use appropriate tools but avoid overtightening plastic parts.
• Test for even spray: Refit the nozzle, fill the tank, and test spray over a sink or outside. If jets are uneven or dribbling, clean or replace the spray bar.
