Possible Causes

Worn locking tabs on wand, Cracked handle housing, Damaged joint in Triflex configuration, Repeated stress on connections

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Remove the battery before inspecting structural components.

  • 1. Inspect joints: Check the handle-to-wand and wand-to-floorhead connections for visible cracks or worn locking tabs.
  • 2. Test locking mechanisms: Attach and detach components, ensuring they click firmly. Excessive play indicates wear.
  • 3. Avoid forcing joints: Do not twist or bend the vacuum beyond its designed range.
  • 4. Replace worn parts: Replace the wand, handle, or joint assembly if structural damage is found.
