2. Remove the foam filter from the dust cup.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Eureka PowerSpeed vacuum cleaner, refer to the following common solutions:

• No Power: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check the circuit breaker if necessary.
• Loss of Suction: Empty the dust cup and clean the foam filter. Check the hose and brush roll for any blockages and remove them.
• Brush Roll Not Spinning: Ensure the vacuum is in the correct height setting for the floor type. Check the brush roll for tangled hair or debris and remove any obstructions.
