TROUBLESHOOTING
If suction reduces or the Sweepovac does not vacuum up the sweepings.
Open the drawer and check if the bag is full. When changing the bag, make sure to hold the bag
tray with the front pointing upwards. This will prevent any dirt falling back out through the opening.
Replace old bag with a new bag. The filter located at the rear of the bag tray can be cleaned if it
appears dirty on visual inspection. Try again.
If the Sweepovac stops operating.
The Sweepovac motor has a thermal cut out. If the motor overheats, check for blockages and wait
for one hour before operating again. Check that other electrical outlets in close proximity to the
Sweepovac are working. Check the electrical panel for the house.
If you accidentally operate the Sweepovac without a bag.
Unplug from the outlet. Remove the bag drawer and use the hose of a normal vacuum cleaner to
clean out the internal cavity of the Sweepovac. Clean the filter and insert a new bag.
To check for and remove a blockage at the inlet aperture.
Remove the bag drawer, hold the drawer vertically with the front pointing upwards, this will allow
the sweepings to fall to the rear of the bag. Lay the drawer flat, remove the bag, insert a single finger
through the bag holding pipe, any obstruction will be felt and can be removed. A finger can also be
inserted into the outside opening where the dirt is vacuumed through.
To check for and remove a blockage at the motor inlet.
Ensure the Sweepovac is unplugged. Remove the bag drawer. Visually inspect the rear of the cavity
where the bag drawer sits. A grill at the rear protects the motor. This grill should be free from any
obstruction.
If none of the above are effective.
Contact an electrical repair shop or Sweepovac if the warranty is still valid.
To remove the entire Sweepovac appliance from it’s location.
Consult the fitting instructions that accompanied this manual, ensure that the Sweepovac is
disconnected from the power before removal.
