How to Fix Common Issues

Motor failure

Check the battery first - a weak battery can cause the motor to cut out. The motor is not user-serviceable.

Battery issues

Clean the battery contacts with isopropyl alcohol. Test with a multimeter - a healthy pack reads ~21V. Replace if below 18V.

Filter clogged

Rinse the HEPA filter under cold water. Allow 24 hours to dry. Never use the vacuum with a wet filter.
