Model issues and repair guidance

Choose dry-filter or liquid setup before diagnosing low pull. With correct media fitted, compare suction at tank inlet, hose, wand, and tool; inspect lid gasket, drum, float cage, fan inlet, and exhaust if loss remains at the body. A rising motor pitch during wet pickup can mean the float has closed rather than the fan has failed. These tanks document no powered brush, belt, battery, charger, reel, or solution pump, so keep repairs within airflow and mains power.Match filter setup to dry debris or liquid, then compare tank inlet, hose, wand, and tool. Inspect lid gasket, drum, float cage, fan inlet, and exhaust for body-side loss. A rising wet-pickup pitch can mark float closure. There is no brush drive or pump branch.
