Problem Cause Solution
Product clings to the venturi
due to static electricity.
An electrical charge builds up in
the venturi causing the product
to cling to the venturi. The
product resists the suction
created by the air stream.
Clear the venturi by pushing the
product through the fan running.
Wipe the venturi with an
antistatic towel as used in
clothes dryers.
If the problem persists, the
venturi has to be grounded to the
manifold. Run a small wire,
preferably copper, through the
venturi cup and into the manifold
as shown below. The wire must
contact the manifold to ground
out the electrical charge.
Problem Cause Solution
Clutches will not engage. No electrical power to clutches. Check power cable to battery.
Check fuses.
Check wiring harness and all
connections.
Dirt lodged between clutch
halves.

Clean the contact surfaces and
reset o proper gap.
Gap between clutch halves is too
wide.
The gap should be 1/32”.
