If the mop is difficult to push‚ ensure the floor is free of large debris and the pads are properly attached. If the unit shuts off unexpectedly‚ allow it to cool down and restart. If problems persist‚ consult the complete manual or contact Shark customer support for further assistance and detailed solutions. Regular maintenance can prevent many of these issues.
