TSS MAINTENANCE
•
1
- Remove the motor head after every use (5 hours of operation) and thoroughly wash the blue
pleated filter bag and float assembly with water until the debris is removed.
•
2
- Periodically remove the float assembly and inspect the tubular plastic screen located around
the float assembly to see if it is clogged with debris.
•
3
- If the head assembly becomes flooded during operaton turn off the power immediately,
remove head assembly from tank and place it on the floor. Wash float assembly with water and
then turn on the power for 3 minutes to remove the liquid from the power unit.
•
4
- If the TSS-15/55 performance decreases during operation, turn off power and remove head
and check intake elbow for blockage. If the intake is clear, check the hose for blockage or
damage.
•
5
- Empty the TSS-15/55 aof any liquids and wash out after each use to prevent undesirable
oders and corrosion.
Concrete slurry is extremely tough on all products and vacuums are no exception. The biggest
isue you will run into comes from not cleaning out the unit after each use. Not only does concrete
slurry turn back into concrete as it dries out, but it can also be very corrosive.
Failure to clean out the vacuum leads to two major problems:
•
1
- Inoperable vacuum shut off when the vacuum is full. The shut off system uses a float,
and as the vacuum container fills to capacity, the float device moves to close to the suction
hole, and therefor, the motor will still run, but not produce any suction. If the concrete slurry is
not cleaned off of the float, it will harden and build up to the point that the device will become
imoperable. When this happens te vacuum will continue to suck slurry until it overflows the
container and gets into the motor turbines. This leads to the second problem.
•
2
- Inoperable motor. If slurry and concrete get into the tubines of the motor, they will cause the
motor to burn out prematurely, necessitating replacement.
