Trouble shooting and
customer information

The vacuum cleaner does not start.

1. Check whether the dust container is full, if so
empty and clean the cartridge filter if showing
build up of dust residue, also inspect the exhaust
filter, If severely discoloured it is to be replaced.

2. Check that the plug and the cable are not
damaged.

3. Check for a blown fuse.

The vacuum cleaner stops when in use.

1. Check whether the dust container is full, if so
empty and clean the cartridge filter if showing
build up of dust residue, also inspect the exhaust
filter. If severely discoloured it is to be replaced.

2. Is the nozzle, tube or hose blocked?

3. Are the filters blocked?

Blockages and dirty filters can result in the cleaner
switching off in operation, due to restriction of air
flow causing the activation of the thermal overload.
If this does occur switch off the cleaner at the mains
and remove the plug. Allow the cleaner to cool for
20 - 30 minutes. In this time check the hose, tubes
and nozzle for blockages.

(a) To check for a hose blockage pass a small coin
through it, on finding the blockage remove it by
pressing the hose to dislodge and loosen the
obstruction. How ever be careful in the case it has
been caused by glass or needles caught inside the
hose at the point of the blockage.

(b) By passing a flexible tube through the hose from
the handle end the blockage can also be removed.
If the obstruction can not be removed please
consult the Blue Ribbon Service Providers listing
supplied with the cleaner for your closest Volta
Authorised service provider. The clearing of a
blocked hose is not covered by warranty.

Water has entered the vacuum cleaner.
It will be necessary to replace the motor by an
authorised Volta service agent. Damage to the
motor caused by the penetration of water is not
covered by the warranty.

Customer Information

Should you require service or consumable spares for
your Volta cleaner, please consult the Blue Ribbon
service providers listing enclosed with this cleaner
for your nearest Volta authorised service provider or
contact the Customer service help line noted
on the last page of this instruction manual.
