Model issues and repair guidance

Diagnosis should begin at the belt lifter, nozzle belt, brush-roll height and indicator, then move through the disposable bag, fill tube, fan, nozzle airway, hose and seals before the motor. Power assist is a separate Tech Drive system: clicking, drag or slipping calls for N/D pedal, slide, primary drive belt, cam, bracket and axle checks in that order. Do not label Tech Drive as an electric powerhead or cord-reel repair.Check belt lifter, nozzle belt, brush height and indicator, then bag, fill tube, fan, airway, hose and seals. For clicking or slipping, inspect N/D pedal, slide, primary drive belt, cam, bracket and axle—not powerhead or reel.
