Vacuflo FC1550 - Manual (Page 7)

Troubleshooting the System
Motor Fails to Turn On:
• Check the main fuse or circuit breaker at the main power supply panel of your home. Reset
breaker or replace fuses if necessary.
• Check the Power Unit reset button located above the power cord. Pressing the button should
restore operation.
• If the circuit protector continues to trip off after a short period of time, the motor brushes
may be worn out. Contact the qualified servicing dealer written on the front of this manual or
locate an authorized dealer on-line at www.vacuflo.com for service.
Loss of Vacuum
If the system shows a loss of vacuum power, check the following:
• The dirt receptacle may need cleaned or the filter may need replaced – follow instructions in
this guide.
• The hose may be clogged – To check if there is an obstruction, unplug the hose and insert
an object that is smaller then the diameter of the hose (A butter knife works well). Pass
the object completely through the hose, if it stops that will indicate where the obstruction
is located. A dry garden hose can be inserted into the hose to help push the obstruction
through.
• The Dirt Canister may not be properly seated to the gasket – Follow instructions for replacing
the dirt canister.
• Tube lines may be obstructed – First check the 90 degree elbow located directly behind
the inlet valves, if an obstruction occurs it will usually not make it past this elbow. If the
obstruction is not visible at the elbow, attempt to purge the tubing at each inlet valve. To do
this, connect the hose and use your hand to stop airflow at the end of the hose for a couple
seconds, let airflow resume. Repeat if necessary.
• If necessary, contact the qualified servicing dealer written on the front of this manual or locate
an authorized dealer on-line at www.vacuflo.com to perform required maintenance.
Obtaining Service Under Warranty: To obtain repair on warranted parts contact the seller
