Possible Causes

Cyclone shroud clogged with fine dust, Using vacuum without pre‑motor filters installed, Damaged cyclone assembly, Very dusty environment overloading system

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Remove the battery before cleaning internal components.

  • 1. Clean cyclone shroud: Remove the dust cup and gently brush or tap the metal or plastic cyclone shroud to remove fine dust from the holes.
  • 2. Verify filters are installed correctly: Ensure foam and felt filters are present and seated properly. Never operate the vacuum without them.
  • 3. Increase emptying frequency: In very dusty environments, empty the dust cup and tap filters more frequently to maintain airflow.
  • 4. Replace damaged cyclone or filters: If the cyclone shroud is torn or deformed, or filters no longer clean up well, replace them with genuine Shark parts.
