5.4 WHAT TO DO IF THE PIPE SYSTEM OR THE ExHAUST PIPE IS

BLOCKED

n Empty the dust canister and clean or replace the lter.

n Locate the blockage for example by sucking strips of kitchen paper through the wall inlets. If the

strips of paper end up in the dust canister, that stretch of the pipe system is clear.

n Once you have located the blockage, disconnect the central unit and check that there are no blockages

in the coupling hoses. Then use the suction hose bushing to connect the suction-side coupling to a

wall inlet along the blocked stretch (or to the wall inlet closest to the blockage, if the blockage is

in the frame pipe). Start the central unit via the low voltage connector (gure 1: 8) with the help

of a piece of metal wir ed within 10-15 seconds, disconnect the central unit from the wall inlet to

allow the turbine to get some air in between and to stop it from overheating. Repeat the process

after approximately one minute.

n If the blockage cannot be dislodged through suction and you are able to pinpoint its location, it is

worth examining whether the pipe system is easily accessible without having to dismantle too much

of the structure. If the pipe system is accessible, the blockage can usually be removed by opening a

pipe joint.

n Never use overpressure, such as compressed air, to try unblocking the pipe system, as overpressure

will cause the pipe joints to become undone.

n You can also try dislodging the blockage by inserting a tension spring into the pipe system, taking

care not to damage the pipe joints.

n If none of the measures described above are successful in unblocking the pipe system, contact an

authorised Allaway service dealer.

5.3 WHAT TO DO IF THE SUCTION HOSE IS DAMAGED

Cut the damaged section out and reconnect the hose using an extension coupling muff (accessory). If the

hose breaks near the hose coupling muff or the handle, detach the muff or handle, cut out the damaged

section and twist the hose coupling muff or handle back onto the hose. The components of the hose

have a left-handed thread. The hose is a consumable part, so change it from time to time a new one.

Hoses are available from Allaway dealers.

In suction hoses equipped with a handle start mechanism, the start circuit wires are built into the hose.

The hose cannot be shortened. In case of damage to the hose, contact an authorised Allaway service

dealer. You can extend the suction hose with an on/off extension hose (accessory).

5.5 DETAILS REQUIRED FOR MAINTENANCE

PURPOSES

Prior to contacting an authorised Allaway service cleaner, note down the type

and serial number (N:o) of your central unit, marked on the nameplate on

the external surface of the central unit, on the side of the turbine housing.

By scanning the QR code, you can get the model, the technical type and serial

number of your central unit to your smartphone or tablet device.

Always keep the unit in its normal upright position during transportation and

take care not to drop it or to make it subject to blows.
