Troubleshooting
Whenever there is a vacuum problem, it’s best to check over the entire system. Use the checklist below as a
guide to thoroughly check the vacuum system.
• Inspect and clean the vacuum motor oat ball. If the ball is dirty, it may get stuck in the closed position,
or close enough to it to be drawn into the closed position from the moving airow.
• Inspect the vacuum motor inlet screen and clean any built-up debris from the screen.
• Clean built-up dirt from the inside of the squeegee tool.
• Replace the squeegee blades if they are nicked or torn.
• Inspect the hose between the squeegee tool and the recovery tank and rinse any built-up dirt from the
hose. Replace the hose if it is kinked or damaged.
• Inspect and make sure the gasket on the recovery tank cover is sealing and not damaged.
• Make sure that the recovery tank drain hose cap seals airtight.
Problem Cause Correction
No suction Vacuum motor not running • Check the vacuum motor power connector
• Check the vacuum motor contactor for proper
operation
Poor suction Unknown:
Leak versus Clog
To determine whether the problem is a leak versus
a clog, remove the suction hose from the squeegee
and completely block the hose with your hand and
observe the suction. Then tilt your hand to allow free
airow, and observe the speed of the airow past your
hand.
Alternatively, you may complete the Vacuum Suction
Test described on page 51.
• Strong suction when blocked and weak airow
when unblocked indicates a clog.
• Weak suction when blocked, but strong airow
when unblocked indicates a leak.
• Weak suction and weak airow indicate either a
massive leak, or a failing vacuum motor.
Clogged vacuum • Inspect and clean the vacuum motor inlet lter
• Inspect the suction hose between the squeegee
tool and the recovery tank
• Inspect and clean the squeegee tool
Vacuum leaks • Inspect the gasket on the recovery tank cover
• Inspect the suction hose between the squeegee
tool and recovery tank for loose connection, holes,
or damage
• Inspect the squeegee blades for nicks, cuts, and
damage
• Inspect the recovery tank drain hose and cap for
leaks
• Inspect the vacuum motor mount for leaks
