Battery symbol flashes with F17, vacuum shuts off under heavy load

Safety first: Remove the battery and inspect the vacuum for blockages before further use.

• 1. Clear all blockages: Check the floorhead, wand, and filters for obstructions. Remove any debris and clean filters.
• 2. Test at lower power: Run the vacuum on a medium or low setting. If it operates normally, avoid prolonged use at maximum power until the battery is replaced.
• 3. Test with another battery: If available, use a second compatible battery. If F17 disappears, the original battery is failing and should be replaced.
• 4. If F17 occurs with multiple batteries and clear airflow: The battery protection or current sensing circuit in the vacuum may be faulty. Professional diagnosis is required.
