Is it the elbow that is wobbly inside of the power head or is it the power nozzle body that is not stable on a surface?
If it's the power nozzle body then you would want to check wheels. Most likely it is the elbow in the power nozzle. Many power heads over time get wobbly elbows. It's not a question of broken of missing parts but more a factor of wear. Gaskets and seals probably have worn some. Plates that the elbow ride on to hold it in place have worn over time. It's amazing what a few hairs width worth of wear can cause as far as wobbliness. You could try a layer or so of electrical tape wound around supports on the elbow. You could try weather stripping with a smooth surface in place of seals or could try seeking new parts. |
