The most common problem experienced by machine operators is that the machine does not
pick up, and leaves a trail. Usually, this means either the machine has not been set correctly
or there is an airflow restriction (please see 2.3 – How the machine works).
If you experience problems with the machine not picking up debris/trash, refer
to section 7 – Fault Finding.
