We know it sounds silly, but it’s always worth double checking that your vacuum is actually charged!

If the charge indicator has 1 flashing green light, charge the battery for the full 4 hours. Plug the charger into the charging port on the back of the battery before plugging it into the mains. The battery can be charged on or off the machine. We’d recommend removing the battery if you want to charge it for the full 4 hours.

As the battery charges, the LEDs will light up green in turn. Once fully charged, 4 green solid lights will show on the battery’s display.

Your AirRam MK2 K9 won’t work if the charger is still plugged into the mains. Unplug the charger from the mains and the vacuum and try using the vacuum again.

Unplug your AirRam MK2 K9 from the mains and remove the battery. The sliding channels should be clear so that you can slide the battery back down in the battery-housing. When fitted correctly, the battery will click and secure into place.

Unplug your AirRam MK2 K9 from the mains and remove the battery.

If the battery terminals or head assembly terminals are dirty, it may be preventing your AirRam MK2 K9 from functioning properly. Make sure you keep the battery and head assembly clean in order to maintain your AirRam MK2 K9’s cleaning performance.

Remove the battery and use a dry, soft cloth to wipe it clean and check for any damage. The battery terminals are located on the back of the battery, just above the ratings label. Wipe the head assembly terminals, too – these are located in the battery-housing and look like metal pins.

The AirRam MK2 K9 is operated by an On/ Off pedal. You’ll be able to hear a clicking noise and the pedal will bounce easily between an up and down position while the battery is detached. If this doesn’t happen, check that you’ve removed the plastic protector from your vacuum. If you’ve removed the plastic protector and there’s still no clicking noise or pedal-bounce, the head assembly may need replacing. Get in touch with us as we may need to send you a replacement part.

Unplug your AirRam MK2 K9 from the mains and remove the battery.

If the charge indicator on the battery is showing 4 solid red lights, the brush-bar may have jammed and your vacuum will automatically cut out.

Lay the vacuum on its back and press the release button on the left-hand side to unlock the brush-bar. Pull it away from the same side as the release button first. Use scissors to get rid of any hair/ thread that has caught around the brush-bar. Remove any hair that’s caught around the brush-bar spindle, too – this is located in the brush-bar-housing on the right-hand side.

Refit the brush-bar, lining it up with the spindle-side first. Position the red covering on the opposite side in an ‘L’ shape. Then push the brush-bar back into its housing until it clicks into place. Spin the bar to check it’s balanced and moves easily. Wait 10 seconds before reinserting the battery and trying to use the vacuum again.

If there is an unexpected smell coming from your AirRam MK2 K9, the filter may need cleaning.

Remove the dirt bin, using its handles to lift it from the head assembly. It should lift out easily, you can wiggle it if it feels a little bit stiff. Pull the filter out of its housing in the dirt bin, remove the shroud and tap the dirt from the filter into your bin.

Twist the filter to remove it from its shroud and wash it under a tap. Squeeze out any excess water and leave it to completely dry - this normally takes around 24 hours. Remove any blockages from the filter and dirt bin.

To refit, slide the shroud back into the filter once they’ve both dried – this normally takes around 24 hours. Put this back into the vacuum’s bin and line it up over the housing on the AirRam MK2 K9. Slide the ejector arm back to its original position – there is a small slot on the bin that the green tab fits into. Push it down into the housing and the bin will click when it’s correctly fitted, lying flush inside the head assembly.

The AirRam MK2 K9 comes with scented cartridges to enhance cleaning experience and leave rooms smelling fresh. Each time you wash the filter (we’d suggest doing this every month, depending on your cleaning schedule), replace the scented cartridge.

After removing the filter from your AirRam MK2 K9, remove the old cartridge. Remove the plastic wrapper from the new cartridge. Slide the new cartridge into the end of the filter shroud. Slide the filter back on to the shroud. Return the filter to its housing inside the bin as normal.

Regular changing of the cartridge ensures you’re getting a fresh burst of fragrance each time you vacuum. If cartridges are left for too long without being changed, they may emit an unpleasant smell and affect your cleaning experience. Replacement scented cartridges are available online via our spares page.
