Troubleshooting
VAcUUM SYSTEM PROBLEMS
Vacuum Loss or Failure:
• Vacuum blower is not engaged - activate OMSI PTO to activate vacuum system
• Vacuum RPM not high enough - adjust RPM higher
• Vacuum filter dirty & clogged - rinse with hose or replace if too badly clogged
• Worn or improperly adjusted shroud brush - adjust or replace brush
• Broken vacuum hose or fitting - inspect hoses & fittings and replace any parts damaged
• Vacuum line plugged with debris - remove clogged hose, flush to remove blockage or replace with
new hose if necessary
• Slipping or damaged vacuum belt - tighten belt or replace if worn badly
• Debris tank door leaking air or water - Compressor is not inflating seal - check compressor and
repair if necessary. Seal is dirty - clean seal. Seal is damaged - replace damaged seal.
• Debris tank 4” dump valve open - clear valve of any debris and close tightly; if valve still leaks, it
may be necessary to replace worn valve
• Relief valve stuck open - lubricate plate & stem and work it in and out to be sure it is free
• Vacuum filter canister door seal leaking - replace seal to eliminate vacuum leak
• Vacuum filter canister drain ball valve leaking or open - clean valve of any debris; if it is still
leaking, it may be necessary to replace worn valve
Relief valves stuck open & whistling:
• A blockage in vacuum hose between the tank and the Hog Head - locate and remove blockage
• Clogged vacuum filter - Clean or replace vacuum filter and clean canister tank bottom
• High water/debris level lifting shut-off ball in debris tank - Empty water from debris tank and dump
debris - clean shut-off ball to keep it from sticking shut, replace debris bag, clean door seal and close
