How often should I clean or replace the L-Class filter?
The frequency depends on usage. It is recommended to clean the L-Class filter regularly, especially after heavy use with fine dust. Refer to the product manual for specific cleaning instructions. Filters should be replaced when visibly worn or damaged to maintain performance and safety.
What is the power consumption of the motor?
The motor power is rated at 2000W, indicating its power output for suction performance.
Is this vacuum suitable for industrial settings?

Troubleshooting
Vacuum has lost suction power
Check the dust bag or tank for fullness and empty if necessary. Inspect the hose, wands, and floor tool for blockages. Ensure the L-Class filter is clean and correctly installed. Check that the motor head is securely fastened.
Vacuum will not turn on
Verify that the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check the power switch is in the 'on' position. Inspect the power cord for any damage.
Motor stops unexpectedly
The motor may have overheated. Turn off the vacuum and allow it to cool down for at least 15-20 minutes before attempting to restart. Ensure air vents are not blocked.
Water leaking from the unit during wet pick-up
Ensure the appropriate filter for wet use (e.g., foam filter) is installed and that the motor housing remains dry. Check the tank for cracks or damage.
