Floor Head hard to push| The Rotary Brush in the floor head may be jammed with
debris etc.
Ensure the Vacuum Cleaner is switched off then remove the debris from the brush.
Or, the carpet may be too long.
Static Shock| In some rare instances, one or two users may feel an electric discharge when touching or using the vacuum cleaner during or after use. This is a well know phenomena of Static Electricity discharge that happens mostly when the user vacuums a synthetic fibre carpet or other synthetic surfaces. It can also be more prevalent in dry and cool environments. Although the feeling of the Static Electricity can be unpleasant for the user, it is not dangerous and is not a fault of the vacuum cleaner. If this static discharge is a problem for the user, the user could try wearing insulating footwear during vacuuming (i.e. rubber or leather soles), or increase the humidity / heat level in the surrounding environment or both.
