TROUBLESHOOTING
If suction reduces or the Sweepovac does not vacuum up the sweepings.
Open the drawer and check if the bag is full. Empty the bag. When changing the bag, make sure to hold
the bag tray with the front pointing upwards. This will prevent any dirt falling back out through the opening.
Replace old bag with a new bag. Also replace the filter located at the rear of the bag tray. Try again.
If the Sweepovac stops operating.
The Sweepovac motor has a thermal cut out. If the motor overheats, check for blockages and wait for one
hour before operating again.
Check that other sockets in close proximity to the Sweepovac are working.
Check the fuse board for the house.
Check the fuse on the plug.
If you accidentally operate the Sweepovac without a bag.
Unplug from the mains. Remove the bag drawer and use the hose of a normal vacuum cleaner to clean out
the internal cavity of the Sweepovac. Replace the filter and insert a new bag.
To check for and remove a blockage at the inlet aperture.
Remove the bag drawer, hold the drawer vertically with the front pointing upwards, this will allow the
sweepings to fall to the rear of the bag. Lay the drawer flat, remove the bag, insert a single finger through
the bag holding pipe, any obstruction will be felt and can be removed. A finger can also be inserted into the
outside opening where the dirt is vacuumed through.
To check for and remove a blockage at the motor inlet.
Ensure the Sweepovac is plugged out. Remove the bag drawer. Visually inspect the rear of the cavity where
the bag drawer sits. A grill at the rear protects the motor. This grill should be free from any obstruction.
If none of the above are effective.
Contact an electrical repair shop or Sweepovac if the guarantee is still valid.
To remove the entire Sweepovac appliance from it’s location.
Consult the fitting instructions that accompanied this manual, ensure that the Sweepovac is disconnected
from the power before removal.
