Model issues and repair guidance

Use a direct power-unit test to keep building tubing separate from the collection canister. Clear the hose and affected branch first, then inspect the pail seal and documented filter before control, fan, or motor work. A secondary exhaust filter adds a final restriction point: compare utility-port pull with the filter fitted and correctly seated before treating warm, weak operation as motor damage.Compare several inlets with the utility port; broad loss moves to pail, filter, and seal, while one weak branch stays in hose or tubing. Include the secondary exhaust filter in direct-port airflow tests before treating warm, weak operation as motor damage.
