TROUBLESHOOTING
Various 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.
BLOWER MOVEMENT OR “WALKING”
• Adjust the rubber footpads on the back of the blower by
turning them either in or out.
• Adjust the side that is walking. This will help to evenly
distribute the weight of the blower to all four points of the
frame.
• Most blowers will walk if not running at full speed, make sure
the blower is running at full speed.
• Ensure the blower is sitting flat and not on small rocks or
other objects.
• If blower is still walking, contact Tempest at 800.346.2143 or
SINGLE SPEED
BLOWER FAILS TO START
• Make sure the unit is connected to the power source.
• Thoroughly check the power cord. If the cord shows any signs
of serious wear it may need to be replaced before running
properly.
• Many blowers are equipped with an “automatic reset.” This
reset will kill power to the blower when the unit is at risk of
overheating. Let the blower cool and attempt to start it again.
• There may be damage to the internal wiring. Have a qualified
technician or electronics specialist examine the blower
circuitry and wiring and make any necessary repairs.
• If your Tempest Single Speed blower is not running after
pursuing the steps mentioned above, please contact us at
800.346.2143 or [email protected].
VSG & VSR
IF THE “ON” AND THE “STOP” OR “STATUS” LEDS DO
NOT LIGHT UP
• Make sure the unit is connected to the 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 or
BLOWER SURGES WHEN RUNNING ON GENERATOR:
• Check that the generator meets the proper voltage output to
operate the blower.
• If blower is still surging, contact Tempest at 800.346.2143 or
