trouble Shooting
partial loss Of Suction
1. Clean out dirt receptacle. Inspect and clean filter (see Filter Maintenance).
Replace dirt receptacle.
2. Turn ON power unit with on/off button. Then check the suction at each inlet. If
it is not the same at each one, the line is partially clogged. To locate the clogged
area in the system, start with the inlet closest to the power unit and check the
suction. Continue to check each successive inlet until you locate the inlet where a
loss In suction is occurring. The clog will be between that inlet and the previous
one you checked. To remove the clog, carefully Insert an electrician’s fish tape in
the inlet and push the obstruction through. Or, with another vacuum, you can
reverse the suction in the system to remove the clog. If neither method is
successful, call your Beam dealer.
3. Have your authorized Beam dealer check the gasket under the motor and the
gasket located where the dirt receptacle attaches to the upper cylinder.
total loss Of Suction (with motor running)
1. Check the hose for obstruction.
2. Turn on power unit with the on/off button and follow the same procedure as in
step #2 above. However, with a total loss of suction at all inlets, if the problem is a
clog in the system, it would be located between the power unit and the first inlet.
Motor refuses to Start
1. Check fuses or breakers (trip switches) in the electric panels in your house.
2. If your power unit has a control light, the green light will indicate when the unit
has proper voltage and the low-voltage circuit is supplying power to the inlets.
Should the light be on, but the motor starts only with the on/off button and not at
the inlets, the problem is broken low-voltage wiring to the wall inlets.
Call your authorized Beam dealer.
