7. Fill the three turbine mounting slots with silicone. Allow silicone to set before proceeding.
8. Position the silencer assembly on the motor deck.
9. Reconnect the power source and turn the machine on. Observe the machine for noise. Reinstall the belt if any
unusual noises are detected.
10. Block the inlet with a fl at and rigid material to place the machine under vacuum pressure.
11. Secure the motor deck then turn the machine off.
Turbine Maintenance
Turbine maintenance should only be performed in an authorized shop as designated by EDCO due to the precision
involved in balancing high rpm devices. This includes and is mainly specifi c to the replacement of bearing compo-
nents.
Trouble Shooting
Engine Will Not Start
• Check if there is fuel in the tank and it is the correct fuel. Make sure there is no water in the fuel.
• Check if the kill switch is in the “on” position.
• Check that the spark plug wire is connected to the spark plug.
• Engine is fl ooded. Adjust the choke per the engine owner’s manual.
• Check that the choke is in the “on” position for cold starts. Adjust the choke per the engine owner’s manual.
• Check that air fi lter is not dirty or plugged. See the engine owner’s manual for service.
Engine Runs Rough, Back Fires or Can Not Reach Full Speed
• Check if there is fuel in the tank and it is the correct fuel. Make sure there is no water in the fuel.
• Check that air fi lter is not dirty or plugged.
• Check that spark plug is clean and properly gapped.
• Check that throttle lever is properly set.
Debris is Not Picked Up or Low Vacuum Pressure
• Manually shake the fi lter with the handle on the side of the vacuum to unclog the fi lter. Empty the dustpan.
• Check that the dustpan is properly seated.
• Check the drum. Empty debris if necessary.
• Check that the cyclone separator is properly seated and secured on the drum.
• Check that the rubber seal is not damaged on the bottom of the cyclone separator. Replace if damaged.
• Check that the plastic bag is properly installed and not sucked in to the cyclone separator.
• Check the hoses for obstructions or blockage. Remove the hoses and visually look through them.
• Check that the engine is running properly and at full speed or about 3200 rpm.
• Inspect fi lter for excessive debris or foreign material on top side of fi lter.
• Make sure all the saw attachment components are installed and working properly in the blade block.
• Check hoses for damage, cuts or holes that could cause a loss of vacuum pressure.
• Block the inlet with a fl at and rigid material. Check for air leaks on the entire unit and repair as necessary.
• Make sure there is no debris build up in the saw blade block.
• Check the vacuum exhaust port for air fl ow. Inspect the turbine drive belt if there is no or low air fl ow.
• Check that there are no missing bolts on the vacuum assembly.
Unusual or High Pitched Noises
• Block the inlet with a fl at and rigid material. Check for air leaks on the entire unit and repair as necessary.
• Inspect the engine per the enclosed engine manual.
• Inspect the turbine for defective bearings.
• Inspect the turbine drive belt for damage.
