How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Remove the battery before opening the dust bin.
- Empty bin: Do not operate the vacuum with the bin over the maximum fill line. Empty and clean the bin.
- Inspect gaskets: Check the rubber gasket around the bin lid and where the bin meets the main body. Replace the dust bin gasket if torn or flattened.
- Check filter seating: Ensure the HEPA and pre‑motor filters are installed correctly and fully seated. Replace damaged filters.
- Look for cracks: If the bin or housing is cracked, replace the dust bin and cyclone assembly.
