My AirTM Cordless Lift won't turn on.

• Your battery may not be charged. Check the Charge Level Indicator and charge the battery if it’s low. Reference the chart below to find the charge time for your model.* The LithiumLife™ battery does not come fully charged.

My AirTM Cordless Lift isn’t picking up well.

• You may have a clogged filter. Your filter should be rinsed every 4-6 uses. Push the dirt cup release button and remove the filter. Rinse with clear warm water for two minutes. Let it dry for 24 hours before reinstalling it.

If your filter was dirty…

• You may also have a clog in the system. Remove canister and check hose for a clog. Lay the upright flat and check hose for a clog. If found, remove the clog.

My AirTM Cordless Lift picks up well on hard floors, but not on carpet.

• When you’re vacuuming, look to see if the brush roll is spinning. You should hear it. If you don’t, roll the power switch forward past ON to turn on the brush roll.

If your brush roll is not turning on…

• The Motor Protection Sensor may have been activated by an obstruction. Remove the battery, then find and remove the obstruction. Wait a few minutes (usually about 2-5, but can take up to 30) for the unit to reset itself, replace the battery and turn on.
