Home Maintenance Guide

If you experience trouble with your built-in vacuum system, follow the suggestions below before calling for serv-
ice.

LOSS OF SUCTION POWER:

Be sure lid is on properly.

Empty dirt receptacle.

Clean cartridge filter.

Be sure each inlet valve is properly closed.

Check for hose obstruction.
Plug hose coupling into any inlet valve. Then, as you check each of the other inlet valves, raise the inlet cover
and hold your hand over the opening to check for suction. If there is normal suction at each inlet, then insert the
hose into one of the other inlets. If there is no suction through the hose at the second inlet, the blockage is in the
hose. To clear the hose obstruction, insert a blunt instrument into the hose (garden hose, wood dowel). If there
is one inlet valve without normal suction and you have checked for hose blockage, then the blockage is in the
pipe system between the blocked inlet valve and the power unit (see instructions below).

Clear blockage in pipes 
Insert the hose into the inlet valve where there is no suction; hold your hand over the hose end. Release hand
quickly. Repeat several times. If blockage does not clear, contact your nearest service station/dealer.

POWER UNIT WILL NOT START:

• Push the safety overload protection reset button.

NOTE: The safety device breaks the circuit if the motor is overloaded.

• Check for blown fuse in main house supply box.
• Unplug the power unit from the electric supply and check all wall inlet and motor wiring connections for loose

wires.
NOTE: The motor compartment removes for servicing, refer to the assembly instruction sheet for procedure.

POWER UNIT WILL NOT STOP RUNNING:

• Check inside each inlet valve for obstruction of low voltage contacts. If no visual obstruction can be detected,

disconnect the cleaner from the power receptacle and contact your nearest service station/dealer.
