If you cannot repair a product with an
insulation test reading of below 2MW
you must inform the customer that the
product is unsafe to use. Please inform
the customer of the required actions to
repair the product (including the charge
structure).
If the product is left un-repaired please
indicate on your paperwork/hand held
device that the product is electrically
unsafe and attach a ‘WARNING: product
electrically unsafe’ sticker in a visable
location on the product.
Test results
An insulation test reading of >2 MW
is acceptable.
A reading of below 2 MW is not considered
safe and further investigation, rectification and
testing must be completed before the product is
used. The following components must be visually
inspected:
The vac motor.•
The cyclone inlet wiring loom.•
The wires underneath the brushbar motor •
cover lower.
The wires behind the stow neck cover.•
The wires behind the wand cuff cover. •
Plugging the powercord into a suitable electrical outlet and pressing the on/off actuator will always turn on
the vacuum and brushbar motor simultaneously. Pressing the brushbar actuator will turn the brushbar motor
off. Pressing the brushbar actuator whilst the brushbar motor is off will turn the brushbar motor on again.
Note: for safety purposes, if the product is unplugged from the electrical outlet without turning the product
off at the on/off actuator first, the brushbar will fail to turn upon plugging the product back into the
electrical outlet. To activate the brushbar it will be necessary to switch the product off and then on again at
the actuator.
The vacuum motor is fitted with a heat sensitive Thermal Cut-out (TCO). This will shut the motor down to up
to 60 minutes if it reaches a temperature >96 degrees. Excessive temperatures within the motor are usually
caused by machine/filter blockages.
The brushbar motor is protected by a current overload switch that turns off power to the brushbar motor if
the brushbar is obstructed (usually caused by a blockage around the brushbar or within the brush housing).
The obstruction must be cleared and the motor reset by pressing the brushbar actuator. If the cause of the
obstruction is not cleared the overload switch will continually activate.
For added protection the underside of the power floor tool assembly neck contains a stow microswitch that
is activated when the floor tool is stowed (stored) on the rear of the product. When activated the brushbar
motor will not operate.
