GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded.
If it should malfunction or break
down, grounding provides a path of
least resistance for electric current
to reduce the risk of electric shock.
This appliance is equipped with a
cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and grounding plug.
The plug must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING
Improper connection of the
equipment-grounding conductor
can result in a risk of electric
shock. Check with a qualified
electrician or service person if
you are in doubt as to whether the
outlet is properly grounded. Do not
modify the plug provided with the
appliance- if it will not fit the outlet;
have a proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
Model MX2500 is for use on a
nominal 120 volt circuit and has a
grounding plug that looks like the
plug in Fig. A. Model MX2570 is for
use on a nominal 230 volt circuit
and has a grounding plug that looks
like the plug in Fig. B.
Make sure that the appliance is
connected to an outlet having the
same configuration as the plug. No
adapter should be used with this
appliance.
CONNECT TO A PROPERLY GROUNDED OUTLET ONLY.
SAVE THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Intended For Household and Light Commercial Use. Do not vent into a
wall, a ceiling, or concealed space of a building or structure.

TROUBLESHOOTING THE SYSTEM
Motor Fails to Turn on:
• Check the main fuse or circuit breaker at the main power supply panel of
your home. Reset breaker or replace fuses if necessary.
• Check the Power Unit reset button located above the power cord.
Pressing the button should restore operation.
• If the circuit protector continues to trip after a short period of time the
motor brushes may be worn out. Contact the qualified servicing dealer
written on the front of this manual for service.
Loss of Vacuum:
• The filter bag may need replaced- Follow instructions in this guide.
• The hose may be clogged- To check if there is an obstruction, unplug the
hose and insert an object that is smaller than the diameter of the hose (a
butter knife works well). Pass the object completely through the hose, if
it stops, that will indicate where the obstruction is located. A dry garden
hose can be inserted into the hose to help push the obstruction through.
• The top cover may not be property seated on the canister.
• Tube lines may be obstructed- First check the 90 degree elbow located
directly behind the inlet valve, if an obstruction occurs it will usually not
make it past this elbow. If the obstruction is not visible at the elbow,
attempt to purge the tubing at each inlet valve. To do this, connect the
hose and use your hand to stop airflow at the end of the hose for a
couple seconds, let airflow resume. Repeat if necessary.
• If necessary, contact the qualified servicing dealer written on the front
of this manual to perform required maintenance or locate one online at
www.h-pproducts.com.
Obtaining Service Under Warranty: To obtain repair on warranted parts,
contact the seller of the system with the power unit serial number.
