Default dyson dc04 pivoting head


Our venerable dyson appears to be doing something strange.
When its used the pivoting head doesnt stay level with the carpet, the
back edge lifts up and it loses suction. I've looked at it closely and
get the feelign there must be some sort of spring hidden away but cant
see how to get at it.
?

Had much the same problem with our vacuum (a Bosch). Seems the spring
JUST has enough power to keep the head on the carpet a full/blocked hose
from the head to the machines internals can overpower the spring so the
head doesn't seem to stay pushed to the ground. Try checking any
hose/duct fron the head and see if it is blocked and so stiffer than the
spring is capable of overcoming
