Model issues and repair guidance

Begin with belt lifter, nozzle belt, brush setting, height and indicator. For weak pickup, inspect bag, fill tube, fan, nozzle, hose and seals before the motor. Clicking, drag or slipping in assist mode calls for N/D pedal, slide and linkage checks. Tech Drive is its own path, not powerhead or reel work. Keep LED headlight wiring separate from motor and Tech Drive symptoms.Check belt lifter, belt, brush setting and nozzle height, then bag, fill tube, fan, throat, hose and seals. Treat clicking, drag or slipping as N/D pedal, slide and Tech Drive work—not powerhead or reel repair. Isolate the LED headlight circuit.
