Power supply cord Check power supply cord continu-
ity.
If there is no continuity, replace the
cord reel patition unit.
Fuse

Check fuse continuity. If there is no continuity, replace Rail
Base unit.
Motor continuity Check the conduction between the
terminals of the motor.
If there is no continuity, replace the
motor.

connections
At switch ON, if there is no continu-
ity, replace P.C.B A Unit.
P.C.B A Unit Check the internal parts for any-
thing unusual. (burn-out, melt-
down, etc.)
If anything is found unusual,
replace the P.C.B A Unit with new
one.
Motor runs but there is no suction Hose or Suction inlet Check if there is any blockage in
the hose or suction inlet.
If there is any blockage, remove it.
