VIII. Maintenance
The Blowers and Blo-Vac™ systems should require very
little maintenance. If the unit should require service, see
instructions below.
Blower overheating occurs when attempting to blow line
in blocked conduit or a duct filled with water having a
head greater than the water lift capability of the blower.
See Table 1.
The 1261 and B3000 Blowers have an automatic thermal
overload switch built into the motor. If overheating
occurs, the switch will turn the motor off. After a cool-
down period of 15 to 30 minutes, the motor will
automatically re-set. The motor can be restarted.
Blo-Vac™ power units are equipped with a perforated
filter screen, located on the under side of the motor
compartment. Occasionally the screen becomes clogged
with lint and dust and it should be cleaned to maintain
maximum air flow.
Vacuuming Dirt and Water — Each Blo-Vac™ comes
with a cloth filter bag that must be used when vacuuming
dirt and water. Use as follows:
1. Release the latches securing the top and center
together.
2. Remove the filter bag from the bottom tool storage
section. Slide the filter bag onto the intake canister
located on the bottom of the motor. The filter bag
prevents dust from entering the motor. Dust and dirt
will damage the motor and cause premature failure.
3. After use, clean the filter bag by shaking off the
excess dirt and store the clean bag in the lower
compartment.
4. The Blo-Vac™ is equipped with a ball float to
prevent water from entering the motor. If the ball
float seals the motor inlet, the motor will sound
different from usual. Immediately turn the unit off.
Empty the recovery section and check the inlet
screen for lint and dirt. Clean and reassemble the
Blo-Vac™ sections.
