VACUUM SYSTEM
SYMPTOM
POSSIBLE CAUSE
SOLUTION
Vacuum motor is running with little or
no vacuum to floor nozzle or hand tool
nozzle.
1. Lid is not secure.
1. Secure Lid (7LIDLM) with Bucket
Handle (10086).
2. Defective or missing Lid Gasket.
2. Replace Gasket.(10232)
3. Accessory hoses at back of the
machine are not connected.
3. Connect Black (10077) and Gray
(10075) Hose Cuffs.
4. Debris blockage on Lid Filter Screen
or Sight Tubes.
4. Clean Lid Plate Screen (10609), and
Sight Tubes (10377).
5. Blockage in Vacuum Hose or
Vacuum Nozzle.
NOTE: If Vacuum Nozzle plugs
repeatedly, the Vacuum Hose
(10256) may be over threaded into the
Vacuum Nozzle. Remove Vacuum
Hose and rethread into Vacuum Nozzle
without over threading.
5. First check vacuum at the accessory
hook up at back of unit. If there is good
suction at Gray Cuff (10075) then the
block is between the Black Cuff
(10077) and floor Vacuum Nozzle or
Hand Tool Nozzle. Clean Nozzle using
lint hook. Clean Vacuum Hose using
water, compressed air or a hand held
pipe snake. NOTE: Vacuum Nozzle
should be cleaned with a lint hook
regularly. If suction is poor at Gray
Cuff, the block is between the Cuff and
Lid or Lid and Duct (10073).
6. Loose Vacuum Cuffs.
6. Tighten Vacuum Cuffs. Check if
threads are sealed with silicone.
NOTE: DO NOT over tighten. This
may cause Vacuum Hose to partially
block Vacuum Cuff, catching debris and
blocking vacuum. ALSO: Wipe off any
excess silicone squeezed into hose.
7. Hole in Vacuum Hose.
7. If small, patch. If large, replace
Vacuum Hose.
8. Damaged or missing Front (10031) /
Rear (10002) Nozzle Clips.
8. Replace Nozzle Clips. (See Repair
Manual: Replacing Front / Rear Nozzle
Clips).
