Many factors can contribute to or be the sole cause of problems for electric power
blowers. This section will identify some of these problems and provide solutions to
correct them.
IF THE “ON” AND THE “STOP” LEDS DO NOT LIGHT UP:
MAKE SURE BLOWER IS CONNECTED TO POWER SOURCE.
Confirm that adequate power is being supplied to blower. If power supply is adequate,
DISCONNECT BLOWER FROM POWER SOURCE
and check for loose or faulty
wiring on blower electrical system and have a qualified professional perform repairs if
needed.
Connect blower to power source and attempt restarting, if blower still does not run,
contact Tempest at 800.346.2143.
BLOWER RUNS THEN CUTS OFF:
Check that the overload indicator light is lit. If the light is lit, this means there is
insufficient voltage going to the unit. This can be caused by too long of a extension cord,
faulty extension cord or low voltage from the power source. If none of the above exist,
the unit may be set to draw more amperage than the power supply delivers. If this is the
case, there is an adjustment inside the drive to correct the amperage draw when running
at 100%. Please contact Tempest for instructions.
BLOWER SURGES WHEN RUNNING ON GENERATOR:
Check generator that it meets the proper voltage output to operate the blower.
BLOWER MOVEMENT OR “WALKING”
• Most Blowers will walk if not running at full speed, make sure the Blower is running at
full speed.
• Make sure the Blower is sitting flat and not on small rocks or other objects.
