InterVac CS8 - Troubleshooting and Maintenance; Troubleshooting Motor Stops; Cleaning the Stretch Hose; Maintenance Instructions

TROUBLE SHOOTING:
TIP : If using our very convenient stretch hose, be aware there will be some loss of suction power, should you require
more suction power, we recommend you try our traditional central vacuum hose.
NOTE: IF MOTOR SUDDENLY STOPS:
1. The most common cause is a clogged hose. Disconnect vacuum hose from cleaner, hold one end
high up in the air and drop a quarter or similar object into the hose. If the quarter gets
stuck the hose is clogged. Try to unclog the hose with a long stick or see below “cleaning the hose”.
2. The bag is overfilled or fine dust has clogged the bag.
Replace with new bag.
DO NOT EMPTY AND REUSE
3. The vacuum cleaning tools are clogged.
4. Vacuuming large amounts of dust other than household dirt, such as dry-wall or fine wood dust can
block the bags pores fast, even if the bag is fairly new.
5. The motor filter is dirty and should be cleaned or replaced.
6. If vacuum unit is installed in a air tight compartment the exhausting air cannot escape, the motor can
overheat and shut off until it has cooled down and is restarted. See page 3 “very important”.
CLEANING THE STRETCH HOSE:
The stretch hose, besides all its’ conveniences, has a tendency to get clogged, especially if you have pets.
a) lift the hose up on both ends and dispense some liquid detergent into both ends.
b) with a garden hose, holding both ends still up, fill ¾ with water.
c) shake hose up and down, let detergent loosen the dirt.
d) stretch the hose as far as you can ( 2 people required ) and wash the dirt out with the full pressure of the
garden hose. Repeat if necessary.
e) Hang hose up, let hose drain and dry completely, up to 24 hours.
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTION:
a) keep vacuum chamber clean. Use a brush to clean out dirt if accumulated.
