How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Remove the battery before inspecting the stand mechanism.

  • Check hinge play: Move the nozzle joint and wand connection. Excessive looseness indicates wear.
  • Use wall mount: Until repaired, store the vacuum on its wall mount or laid flat to prevent falls.
