4. RECOVERY TANK NOT DRAINING
If your recovery tank is not draining, there is a clog somewhere in the draining system. The two main
areas of potential clogging are at the tank drain or at the restriction collar on the drain hose.
1. Start by checking the restriction collar being sure to keep the hose well above the top of the recovery tank
so that the water doesn’t splash out once the debris is cleared. If the clog is located here, clear the clog with
your hand or a tool and then drain as normal.
2.
If the clog is not located at the restriction collar, then it is likely in the recovery tank at the drain opening.
In this case, we suggest that the operator put rubber gloves on prior to submerging their hand to check for
the clog. Once the clog is found, clear the drain and then empty as normal.
In the unlikely event that the clog is in another part of the drain hose, we encourage utilizing a water hose to
back flush the clog from the recovery hose. Of course, a long thin tool of some kind can be used as well, but
be extremely careful not to puncture the hose wall.
If a clog isn’t found in the system, contact your distributor or Tornado for technical support.
