Power cord Chech power cord continuity between
pliug pins cord reel patition unit.
If there is no continuity, replace the
cord reel patition unit.
Main fuse (250V, 12A) Check main fuse continuity. If there is no continuity, replace the rail
base unit.
Motor continuity Check motor continuity between car-
bon brush holder tabs.
If there is no continuity, replace the
motor.
ON/OFF Switch Check continuity across switch connec-
tions.
If there is no continuity, replace the
switch.
Power board (P.C.B. AU) If cther checkpoints do not have any problems, then replace the control circuit
board AU (P.C.B. AU).
Rotary potentiometer Check if the potentiometer is in open
circuit.
If it is in open circuit, replace power
control.
Motor runs but there is no suc-
tion.
Hose or Suction inlet, Exten-
sion wand and nozzle
Check if there is any blockage in the
indicated parts.
If there is any blockage, remove it.
Dust bog / Secondary filter Check if dust bag is full or Secondary
filter is choked up.
