The machine requires minimum maintenance apart from the following checks by the operator prior to use:
• Body of the machine - Clean with a damp cloth.
- Power cord - Regularly inspect sheath, plug and cord anchorage for damage or loose connection. Only replace the power cord with the type specified in these instructions.
- Air vents - Check for dust accumulation around the air inlet and outlet vents of the motor cooling-air system and clean if necessary.
- Blocked vents will cause the motor to overheat, and may lead to premature failure. Warranty claims for this type of damage will not be accepted.
- Passive vacuum unit – All dust bags must be changed regularly and hose checked for blockage to avoid unsatisfactory results.
• Vacuum filter – Check the vacuum filter is clean and replace as appropriate.
- Brushes - For maximum life, wash the brushes regularly. Ensure machine is in Transport mode when not in use. Store additional brushes in a vertical position to avoid bending of bristles. Check for permanent bending of bristles in a particular direction. This may occur if the machine is operated for several days without removing the brushes, which is not recommended. If this occurs, reverse the brush so that the bent bristles are automatically straightened.

Under extreme or specialised conditions and/or insufficient maintenance, shorter maintenance intervals are necessary.
Use only original Truvox spare parts. Use of other spare parts will invalidate all warranty and liability claims. Should you require after sales service please contact the supplier from whom you purchased the machine, who will arrange service. Repairs and servicing of Truvox products should only be performed by trained staff. Improper repairs can cause considerable danger to the user.
