Troubleshooting
Unit not turning on
Check that the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet and the unit itself. Ensure the safety switch, if applicable, is engaged.
Reduced suction power
Inspect the intake hose and nozzle for blockages. Clean or clear any obstructions. Check the collection bag or chamber for accumulated debris and empty if necessary.
Discharge hose not working effectively
Ensure the discharge hose is not kinked or blocked. Verify that the uphill discharge mechanism is functioning correctly and that the outlet is not submerged.
