4. Follow and record
Complete the checks before recording physical work. Follow steps in order.
Disconnect both ends
With the charger disconnected and the machine cool, release the wand from the body and the floor head from the wand. Keep the trigger untouched.
Look for: The wand is separate from powered components.
Manual: p12 Looking for blockages; Blockages – automatic cut-out; p8 Stubborn blockagesFind the restriction
Inspect each wand end and the detached head inlet under good light. Record where the debris is visible.
Look for: Do not mistake a clear wand for a clear body inlet.
Manual: p12 Looking for blockages; Blockages – automatic cut-out; p8 Stubborn blockagesRemove reachable dry debris
Carefully free only the visible, safely reachable obstruction. Watch for sharp material and avoid driving debris farther into the passage.
Look for: Stop if access needs force, a sharp tool or electrical contact handling.
Manual: p12 Looking for blockages; Blockages – automatic cut-out; p8 Stubborn blockagesInspect the passage again
Look through the wand and recheck the inlet. If either remains obstructed, leave the machine stopped and ask Dyson for help.
Look for: Both inspected passages look clear before reassembly.
Manual: p12 Looking for blockages; Blockages – automatic cut-out; p8 Stubborn blockagesRestore every part
Reconnect the wand and head securely, with both dry filters and the clear bin fitted.
Look for: All release catches hold normally.
Manual: p11 Vacuuming; Washing the filters; p12 Looking for blockagesRecord the pickup check
Try brief normal use on a suitable dry surface. Record pickup and any returned pulsing; stop and contact Dyson if the symptom continues.
Look for: A remaining problem belongs in the record rather than repeated restarts.
