Handle or hose loses suction while main body suction is strong

Safety first: Unplug the machine before disconnecting the hose.

• Check suction at body: Remove the hose and briefly run the machine (then unplug). If suction at the body inlet is strong, the issue is in the hose or wand.
• Clear hose blockage: Look through the hose. Use a flexible rod or straightened (blunt) coat hanger with tape over the end to push out clogs from the opposite end.
• Inspect for leaks: Flex the hose while blocking one end with your hand and feeling for air leaks or splits. Replace the SEBO hose if cracked or leaking.
• Check wand: Detach the wand and inspect for lodged objects. Clear with a broom handle if necessary.

A damaged hose reduces cleaning performance and should be replaced rather than taped for long-term use.
