Service Checklist
• If your vacuum will not operate, check the plug
connection and mains fuse.
• Never allow the dust cup to become so full
that it impedes the air flow, thus reducing the
cleaning efficiency of the machine. The character
of household dust and its effect on the air flow
through the machine may vary considerably. Fluffy
dust allows air to pass through readily whereas fine
powdery dust or proprietary cleaning powders pack
tightly in the dust cup, offering greater resistance
to air flow and will reduce cleaning efficiency if the
cup becomes overloaded.
• Always store your vacuum and spare dust filters in
a dry place.
• Renew the filter pads three or four times a year.
This is essential to ensure continued high filtration
of dust particles.

• Sucking up such items as stockings, clippings of
cloth, sizeable pieces of paper, wrappings from
cigarette packets or sweets etc., may block the
hose. Volta regrets that the clearing of blocked
hoses cannot be regarded as service that can be
given free of charge, under the guarantee. Should
a blockage occur, first disconnect the vacuum from
the electricity supply, refer to section headed “How
to Clear a Blockage.” If these operations are not
successful, contact Volta AUS: 1300 365 305 during

• Never pick up hot cinders or lighted cigarette ends.

Make certain that your vacuum does not come
into contact with water or any other liquid. It
is not designed as a wet pick up vacuum, and
must never be used on damp carpets or wet
floors.
Important – in the event of the mains supply cable of
this vacuum requiring replacement, we recommend
that this be carried out by Volta Service Staff.

This vacuum has a special thermostat that protects the vacuum in case of motor overheating. If the vacuum switches
off, push the switch pedal once and unplug the vacuum. Check the vacuum for a possible source of overheating such
as a full dust cup, a blocked hose or clogged filter. If these conditions are found, fix them and wait at least 30 minutes
before attempting to use the vacuum. After the 30 minute period, plug the vacuum back in and push the on/off switch
On ( I ). If the vacuum still does not run, please call Volta Customer Care.
