TROUBLESHOOTING

If the suction is too low, check to make sure the tank is empty, the filter is clean,
and that the hose is properly secured and not obstructed.

If the 12-volt circuit fails to operate, try the following suggestions:

1. In the event that the unit does not appear to vacuum properly, unplug it from the
power supply and make sure that the receptacle is clean. Also check the vehicle’s fuse.

2. Be sure the contact points in the lighter receptacle are clean. DO NOT USE METAL
TOOLS. Use only insulators, such as wood, if cleaning is needed. The adapter plug
should fit firmly in the receptacle.

3. Carefully unscrew the plug’s top section. Remove and check the fuse with the proper
electronic meter. If defective, replace the fuse with a 15-amp, 250-volt-rated glass
fuse. This fuse is readily available at local auto parts and electronic stores.

4. Check your vehicle’s fuse panel to be certain that the fuse controlling the lighter is not
worn or weak. Replace a damaged fuse with a new, properly sized and rated fuse to
ensure satisfactory performance.

5. Some cigarette lighters have a separate circuit breaker located directly behind the
cigarette lighter receptacle. If your lighter is not working, this circuit breaker may have
blown and could require replacement. Consult your vehicle owner’s manual for
replacement.
