If your Eureka SuctionSeal Pet is having issues with being pushed around, then a possible issue could be a worn vacuum belt. Symptoms of this include the brush roller not spinning along with the suction power of the vacuum not being as effective and strange noises

Adjust carpet height setting - look for the height adjustment knob, which is on the front above the brush roller, and check for any deformations or wear and tear, and see if the knob is able to turn smoothly. If the knob is damaged then it will need to be replaced.

Also try adjusting the height one setting at a time until the vacuum’s suction appropriately comes in contact with the carpet, which in turn may help with maneuvering it.

Also try checking the height adjustment mechanism itself rather than just the knob. Open up the cover and check if there's anything that may be stuck or obstructing the mechanism and remove it.
