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.
