How do I empty the dirt canister and replace the filter?ġ. If vacuum suction has not been restored, contact your Local Dealer for service. To do this, connect the hose and use your hand to stop airflow at the end of the hose for a couple seconds, then let airflow resume. If the obstruction is not visible at the elbow, attempt to purge the tubing at each inlet valve.

First, check the 90 ° elbow located directly behind the inlet valves, if an obstruction occurs it will usually not make it past this elbow. Follow instructions in your Owner's Manual based on your power unit type.Ĥ. The dirt canister may not be properly seated to the gasket. A dry garden hose can be inserted into the hose to help push the obstruction through.ģ. Pass the object completely through the hose, if it stops, that will indicate where the obstruction is located. To check if there is an obstruction, unplug the hose and insert an object that is smaller than the diameter of the hose (a butter knife works well). The dirt canister may need emptied or the bag/filter may need to be replaced - follow the instructions in your Owner's Manual based on your power unit type.Ģ. I have low suction at the end of my hose handle, what could be the problem?ġ. Getting the carbon dust wet causes it to smear. The best way to remove any of the dust that accumulates is with a stiff brush or vacuuming it. This dust typically accumulates on the PVC tubing that connects to your unit because the tubing has a static electric charge that attracts small dust particles. This is not an indicator of bad motor performance, just that the motor is being used. The black film is carbon dust that is caused by the wearing down of the motor brushes. The vac tubing located near my power unit has a black film on it, what is it? If the issue has not been corrected, or the circuit protector continues to trip after a short period of time the motor brushes may be worn out. Were you vacuuming when the unit shut off? If the unit had been running for approximately an hour or more, let the unit cool down for 5-10 minutes and try again.ĥ. If the test item does not work, most likely there is an issue with the electrical receptacle. If the power unit still does not come on, try plugging something else such as a hair dryer or lamp into the electrical plug your power unit was plugged into. It is most noticeable when popped out after the breaker has been tripped.ģ. NOTE: The reset button is located on the upper left-hand side of the unit where the low voltage wires connect to the unit. Pressing the button should restore operation. Check the power unit reset button located above the power cord. Reset breaker or replace fuse if necessary.Ģ.

Check the main fuse or circuit breaker at the main power supply panel of your home.
