Owner’s Manual
WARNING: The following information is for use by qualified service
personnel only and provides guidance for troubleshooting and
maintenance.
n
UNPLUG the vacuum when working on the motor or any electrical part.
n
CHECK the condition of all electrical cords before each use.
n
CHECK the carbon brushes on the motor every six months and replace any
brush worn down to 1/2" in length. If carbon brushes are not checked and
replaced (if necessary) every six months, motor warranty will be void.
n
DO NOT lubricate the motor; it is equipped with sealed bearings.
TROUBLESHOOTING
1. If the vacuum will not operate, check:
a. The power supply cord at the wall outlet.
b. The power supply cord at the vacuum.
c. That the switch is in the “on” position and functioning properly.
2. If the pigtail (18" power cord) is getting warm, check to see that the extension
cord does not exceed a length of 50 feet at 16 gauge or 100 feet at 14 gauge.
Longer cords will overheat and damage the vacuum.
3. If the exhaust that comes out of the bottom of the vacuum is warmer than
usual, check, clean or replace all four filters.
4. If the power switch fails, check the circuit breaker. If that is not the problem,
see a Triple S Warranty Station.
5. If loss of suction occurs:
a. Check that debris is not plugging the hose, wand, and/or floor tool.
b. Check, clean or replace both Intercept Micro Filter and cloth filters.
c. Check that the hose cuffs are fitting tightly on the hose and are
not cracked.
d. Check that the cap is properly attached to the vacuum body.
