My Reversible Drum Vac was working just fine when I got it, but it doesn't work very well any more. Why?
The Reversible Drum Vac has no moving parts. Degradation in performance is most likely due to contamination from the compressed air supply. Maintenance on the Reversible Drum Vac is not normally required if it is provided with the proper air filtration. Disassemble the unit and clean according to the Installation and Maintenance instructions that came with your unit.
Also, large pressure drops are possible across filter separators if the element is clogged with dirt. Check filter and replace element if needed.
A troubleshooting guide is available for the Reversible Drum Vac.
