TROUBLESHOOTING
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK-UNPLUG BEFORE
TROUBLESHOOTING.
Cleaning Performance
Vacmaster vacuum cleaners are tested for endurance. If your motor is operating, then the most
likely cause for a loss in suction is a blockage or an opening in the vacuum.
To maintain a high cleaning performance from your machine, it is important to replace or clean
cartridge filters as necessary. Replace full dust collection bags to prevent performance drops. A
performance drop with clean filters can only be caused by a blockage in the tools or the hose.
