What to do if my Sullair Vacuum Cleaner won't start?

J
Joel BartlettAug 3, 2025
If your Sullair Vacuum Cleaner won't start, there are several potential causes. First, check if the main disconnect switch is open and close it. Also, inspect the line fuse and control transformer fuse, replacing them if blown. Additionally, the motor starter overloads might have tripped; reset them, and if the problem continues, verify the motor starter contacts are functioning correctly. Finally, check the incoming line voltage and consult your power company if it's low.
