HOME MAINTENANCE GUIDE
If you experience trouble with your built-in vacuum system, follow the suggestions below before calling for service.
LOSS OF SUCTION POWER:
•
Be sure lid is on properly.
• Empty dirt receptacle.
• Clean filter.
• Be sure each inlet valve is properly closed.
• Check for hose obstruction.
Plug hose coupling into any inlet valve. Then, as you check each of the other inlet valves, raise the inlet cover and hold
your hand over the opening to check for suction. If there is normal suction at each inlet, then insert the hose into one
of the other inlets. If there is no suction through the hose at the second inlet, the blockage is in the hose. To clear the
hose obstruction, insert a blunt instrument into the hose (garden hose, wood dowel). If there is one inlet valve without
normal suction and you have checked for hose blockage, then the blockage is in the pipe system between the blocked
inlet valve and the power unit (see instructions below).
• Clear blockage in pipes
Insert the hose into the inlet valve where there is no suction; hold your hand over the hose end. Release hand quickly.
Repeat several times. If blockage does not clear, contact your nearest service station/dealer.
POWER UNIT WILL NOT START:
• Reset the overload protection device by following the directions on the Overload Protection Reset section of the manual.
NOTE: The safety device breaks the circuit of the motor is overloaded.
• Check for blown fuse in main house supply box.
• Unplug the power unit from the electrical outlet and check all wall inlet and motor wiring connections for loose wires.
POWER UNIT WILL NOT STOP RUNNING:
• Check inside each inlet valve for obstruction of low voltage contacts. If no visual obstruction can be detected, discon-
nect the vacuum from the electrical outlet and contact your nearest service station/dealer.
