  If your Jon-Don Carpet extractor has no vacuum or weak vacuum, here are several potential causes and solutions: * The vacuum tank might be full; if so, empty the tank. * The float assembly tank screen could be dirty; clean the screen with water. * The float ball may be stuck; tap the float to unstick it, then clean it. * The vacuum hose might be damaged or loose; attach or replace it. * The dump valve could be open; close the valve. * The access lid might not be sealed; replace the gasket. * The vacuum hose might be clogged; clear any debris. * The air intake grid could be clogged; clean it. * There might be a leak in the recovery tank; clean and dry the area, then patch it with silicone. * Water might be coming out of the vacuum exhaust; use a low-foaming detergent.

  If the pump in your Jon-Don Floor Machine is not running properly, consider the following: * Check the electrical system to ensure there is power to the pump. * Clean the jet filters, as the jets on the wand may be clogged. * Clean the in-line filter, as it may be clogged. * Clear any debris in the solution tank that might be covering the inlet. * Check for kinked or loose hoses, and replace them if necessary. * Snap quick disconnects together to ensure they are completely locked. * Flush the heater with a system maintainer, or replace the heater if it is clogged with deposits. * If the pump is pulsating, check for clogged jets and clean them. * Close the valve if the auto-prime valve is open. * If the pump has failed, it should be replaced.
