A Warning and Safety Instructions

1 General Information

All repairs should be performed by a trained technician in strict accordance with national, state and local codes. Any repairs or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could be dangerous.

When servicing, modifying, testing or maintaining appliances, all applicable laws, regulations and accident prevention guidelines must be observed.

All regulations of the appropriate utility supply companies and standards relating to safety (not limited to electrical safety) are to be complied with.

Before starting any service work, disconnect the vacuum cleaner from power.

Even with the vacuum cleaner switched off, voltage may be applied to some components.

After work has been completed, a visual as well as an operational check should always be performed.

2.2 Automatic Suction Power Control

Fig. 5: Suction Power Control Components

Fig. 6: Low-Pressure Channel Connection (1) in Casing Top

The built-in suction power control consists of a pressure sensor on the electronic (040 Fig. 5, Pos. 2) that detects low pressure in the bag compartment via a hose (040 Fig. 5, Pos. 1). The low pressure is measured and compared to a fixed value programmed into the electronic. If these values do not match, the motor speed will be automatically corrected.

– When the vacuum cleaner is switched on for the first time, it will switch on at

the "Auto" power setting.

– With subsequent uses, the vacuum cleaner will switch on at the last-used

power setting.

3 Fault Repair

3.1 Motor Does Not React in the "Automatic" Setting or Always Runs at High Speed

Cause

Low-pressure channel to the bag compartment is clogged.

Remedy

Fig. 7

A Check the low-pressure channel in the dust compartment lid (040 Fig. 7, Pos.

1) for clogs.

Cause

The hose between the pressure sensor and the dust compar tment is kinked or damaged.

Remedy

A Cover Frame Removal, 020 4.2.

A Check the hose for damages, kinks or clogs; see 040 Fig. 5.

A If necessary, replace the hose.

040-6 DTD no. 41-8000

Page 25

Note

If the nozzle was run over smooth flooring (e.g., parquet or tile) while in the “Automatic” setting, the motor will run at its highest speed due to the air coming in at the sides of the nozzle.

Cause

Pressure sensor on the electronic board is defective.

Remedy

A Pull off the hose between the control panel and the dust compartment lid (040

Fig. 5, Pos. B).

A Switch the motor on in the "Automatic" setting.

A Generate a low-pressure condition at the disconnected end of the hose (e.g.,

quickly suck an object in).

A If the motor speed does not drop, then the pressure sensor is defective.

A Replace the electronic.

2.1 Thermal Protection Function

Fig. 1: Thermal Limiter F2 (Taken from Wiring Diagram)

Temperature limiter F2 (050 Fig. 1) is integrated into the motor winding and will interrupt power if the motor should overheat. For some models this will also be indicated via an indicator light on the operating unit. The temperature limiter will reset itself after the motor cools down (approx. 30 minutes).
