Possible Causes

Brushroll set too low or bristles too stiff, Blocked floorhead wheels, High suction mode on thick carpet, Debris jammed in swivel neck

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Remove the battery pack and detach the floorhead.

Inspect moving parts:

  • Check the front and rear wheels for hair and debris; clean thoroughly.
  • Ensure the swivel neck moves freely.

Usage adjustments:

  • Use a lower power mode on thick carpets to reduce suction drag.
  • If your Salter model has a hard floor/carpet selector, set it appropriately.

If the brushroll or wheels are damaged or warped, replace the floorhead or the affected components.
