Craftsman 152.213351 - Manual (Page 18)

A
warning
Turn the power switch "OFF" and unplug the power
cord from its power source prior to any maintenance.
Always make sure that the intake port caps covers the
intake port when a hose is not connected to the dust
collector.
LUBRICATION
The Dust Collector has sealed lubricated bearings in
the motor housing that does not require any additional
lubrication from the operator.
CLEANING
With the Dust Collector unplugged, blow off motor with
low pressure air to remove dust or dirt. Air pressure
above 50 P. S. I. should not be used as high-pressured
air may damage insulation. The operator should always
wear eye protection when using compressed air.
Do not allow chips and dust to accumulate under dust
collector. Keep area clean and in safe order.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE FLAMMABLE MATERIALS
to clean Dust Collector.
A
warning
Repairs to the Dust Collector should be performed by
trained personnel only. Contact your nearest Sears
Service Center for authorized service. Unauthorized
repairs or replacement with non-factory parts could
cause serious injury to the operator and damage to the
Dust Collector.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUID
TO PREVENT INJURY TO YOURSELF or damage to the Dust Collector, turn the switch to the “OFF” position and
unplug the power cord from the electrical receptacle before making any adjustments.
PROBLEM LIKELY CAUSE(S) SOLUTION
Motor does
not start
1. Switch not pressed in far enough or
switch in the “OFF” position
2. Defective switch
3. Defective capacitor
4. Low line voltage
5. Defective motor
1. Depress switch in 1/2 inch or make sure switch
is in the "ON" position.
2. Have switch replaced.
3. Have capacitor replaced.
4. Correct low line voltage condition.
5. Have motor replaced/repaired.
NOTE: 2, 3 and 4 must be done by a qualified service
technician: Contact Sears service.
Motor stalls
(resulting in blown
fuses or tripped
circuit breakers)
1. Circuit overload
2. Low line voltage
3. Chips or debris clogged impeller.
4. Motor overload
5. Incorrect fuses on circuit breakers
6. Short circuit in motor; loose connections
or worn insulation on lead wires
1. Reduce circuit load
2. Correct low line voltage condition.
3. Clean all hoses, bags and blower housing of chips
and debris.
4. Reduce load on motor.
5. Have correct fuses on circuit breakers installed.
6. Inspect terminals in motor for damaged insulation
and shorted wires and have them replaced.
Motor starts
slowly or fails to
come to full speed
1. Defective motor windings
2. Defective capacitor
1. Have motor replaced/repaired.
2. Have capacitor replaced.
Motor running
too hot
1. Restricted air circulation due to dust
accumulation.
2. Motor overload
1 A. Clean dust and restore normal air circulation.
1B. Empty and clean filter and collection bags.
2. Reduce load on motor.
Frequent opening
of fuse or circuit
breakers 1. Fuses or circuit breakers do not have
sufficient capacity
2. Circuit overloaded
3. Motor overload
1. Have correct fuses or circuit breakers installed.
2. Reduce circuit load (turn off other appliances).
3. Reduce load on motor.
