4.5 Empty Bucket Indicator (optional feature on select units)
For every 25 hours of use (approximately 6 months) the empty bucket indicator icon will fl ash on
the power unit screen. The power unit also communicates to empty the dirt bucket to the BEAM
Alliance hose handle with a RED fl ashing fan blade. As this notice is time based, you may fi nd
the dirt bucket partially full or too full. If you have pets, a workshop or vacuum frequently, you
should check the dirt bucket more frequently.
Once the bucket is emptied, simply push one of the two reset buttons located on the power unit
and hold for 5 seconds.
If the power supply is interrupted or unplugged, the empty bucket indicator memory keeps track of
its previous time status.
4.6 Performance Bars (optional feature on select units)
Three to four performance bars indicates the system is performing at the
optimal level. Performance levels will change depending on variable speed
settings and when specialty cleaning attachments are used. When the unit is
OFF, performance bars will display as empty.
Note: it is normal to see performance changes when specialty attachments are used causing a
restriction in airfl ow.
4.7 Empty/Flashing Performance Bars (optional feature on select units)
The Performance Bar icon is displayed on the power unit when the motor is unable to operate
at optimal system performance. When 2 bars or less are illuminated, the air fl ow is restricted,
meaning the vacuum’s cleaning performance has decreased. The power unit will communicate
the error message to the Alliance hose handle showing a fl ashing RED fan blade.
Air fl ow can be restricted by several factors:
1) Overloaded Dirt Bucket
2) System
Blockage
3) Motor Wear
The most common cause is an overloaded dirt bucket, that needs emptying. Alternatively, there
may be a system blockage, and the hose and piping system should be checked for blockage.
If you continue to receive low system performance, please contact your authorized dealer/
distributor.
