5. Troubleshooting
5.1 Vacuum Shuts Down During Use
If the vacuum repeatedly shuts down during use, this often indicates a blockage or a full dirt bin. Check the following:
- Empty the Dirt Bin: Ensure the bin is not overfilled.
- Check for Blockages: Inspect the nozzle, attachments, and main unit for any obstructions.
- Clean the Filter: A dirty filter can restrict airflow and cause the motor to overheat and shut off.
5.2 Reduced Suction Power
If you experience reduced suction, perform the checks listed above for shutdowns. Additionally, ensure the chosen suction mode is appropriate for the task (e.g., 'Max Suction' for heavy-duty cleaning).
