Problem

Probable Cause

Remedy

Total loss of suction

Blower motor stopped

Check motor started overloads, fuses and interlocks.
Check motor connections and windings.

Filters plugged

Check that the dust removal container is not full and 

that the equipment served is operating. Turn fan OFF 

and allow the controller to perform several complete 

cleaning cycles. Remove each filter bag, vacuum 

outside surfaces, and reinstall. Replace damaged or 

torn filters.

Obstructed ductwork

Check and remove obstructions.

Clean-air outlet 
discharging dust

Filter bags not installed 

correctly

See Filter Bag Replacement.

Torn or damaged filters

Replace as necessary.
