Possible Causes

Worn wand locking tabs, Cracked wand collar, Loose pivot joint in floor nozzle, Debris in locking mechanism

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Remove the battery before inspecting mechanical joints.

  • 1. Inspect wand connections: Detach the wand and examine the locking tabs and collars for cracks or wear.
  • 2. Clean joints: Remove any debris from the locking holes and tabs. A small brush can help clear dust and grit.
  • 3. Check nozzle pivot: Move the nozzle pivot joint by hand. If it clicks or feels loose, the internal pivot bushings may be worn.
  • 4. Replace worn parts: Replace the wand if locking tabs are damaged. Replace the floor nozzle if the pivot joint is excessively loose or cracked.
  • 5. Avoid excessive force: When using the vacuum, avoid twisting the wand beyond its designed range to prevent further damage.

Properly fitting joints reduce noise and improve maneuverability.
