Model issues and repair guidance

Weak airflow starts at the paper bag and its chamber seal, then moves through the flexible hose and selected straight-suction attachment. Because the compact body has no driven floor brush, do not route a blocked tool or noisy motor to belt repair. For intermittent power, inspect the wall cord, switch and strain points before opening the motor housing. Shoulder-strap fittings affect carrying only, not suction.Trace weak airflow through paper bag, chamber seal, hose and straight-suction tool. No brush or belt applies. For intermittent power, inspect cord, switch and strain points before motor service; shoulder-strap hardware is not part of the air path.
