Trouble shooting when using an industrial vacuum cleaner

When using an industrial vacuum cleaner, you may encounter some common issues. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can follow:

1. Lack of suction power:

  • Check if the vacuum bag or container is full and needs to be emptied or replaced.
  • Ensure that the filters are clean and not clogged. Clean or replace them if necessary.
  • Inspect the hose, wand, and attachments for any blockages or obstructions. Clear them if found.
  • Verify that the power supply is adequate for the vacuum cleaner’s motor. Low voltage can affect suction power.

 2. Motor not running:

  • Check if the vacuum cleaner is properly plugged into a functioning power outlet.
  • Ensure that the power switch is turned on.
  • Examine the power cord for any damages or frayed wires. If found, replace the cord.
  • If the vacuum cleaner has a reset button or thermal overload protection, press the reset button or allow the motor to cool down before restarting.

3. Overheating or tripping circuit breaker:

  • Ensure that the filters are clean and not causing excessive strain on the motor.
  • Check for any blockages or obstructions in the hose, wand, or attachments that could be causing the motor to overwork.
  • Verify that the vacuum cleaner is not being used for an extended period without breaks. Allow the motor to cool down if needed.
  • If the vacuum cleaner continues to trip the circuit breaker, try using it on a different circuit or consult an electrician to assess the electrical load.

4. Unusual noises or vibrations:

  • Check for any loose or damaged parts, such as the hose, wand, or attachments. Tighten or replace them as necessary.
  • Inspect the brush roll or beater bar for any obstructions or damages. Clear any debris or replace the brush roll if needed.
  • If the vacuum cleaner has wheels or casters, ensure they are properly attached and not causing the vibrations.Replace any damaged wheels.

5. Dust escaping

  •   Ensure that the filters are properly installed and sealed.
  •  Check if any filter is damaged.Replace any damaged or worn-out filters.

If the troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, it is recommended to consult the user manual or contact the manufacturer’s customer support or local distributor for further assistance. They can provide specific guidance based on the model and specifications of your industrial vacuum cleaner.
