There is a valve you have to turn once the air compressor is connected. Turn it up to the left and it should start pumping out the fluid. Best to use when fluid is warm, flows easier up the tube and into the container.

Either you have an overloaded circuit, try different out in a different room to see if same happens, if so then your vacuum start up has a heavy draw, which could mean a motor issue.

I also purchased this and love it! My vacuum works so well. Perhaps yours has a glitch or is a lemon for some reason. I know one thing, the manufacturer stands behind their product. Simply contact them through their website and let them know what has happened. They will definitely help you out.They are a family owned company with great values. Contact them!

i just purchased this machine late sept. read my posting on amazon dated oct 1st. (Wolffe ) yes u r right about the attachments being not proper. anyways. i found that it i very easy to get a i inch union from a old vacuum from a local vacuum store and attach the old extension hose. i have 16ft of hose now . hope this helps. specially when vacuuming the car. sorry ia had no reason to read your post until now.

I'm just guessing, I think the compressor pulls too many amps for this small adapter to handle. I would locate a local shop who deals in compressors and get their expert opinion on the type of adapter to purchase.

See what happens when you disconnect the vacuum lined, if it returns you have a problem in the vacuum line or where it connects. Try blowing thru the line & see what happens..

I found out that there are multiple items within the vacuum that need to be cleaned once a month (depending how often you use it). Make sure you are cleaning the container out so the hose doesn't get clogged. There is also a filter that needs to be cleaned and that is what I found out I needed to clean in order to get mine to start working again. Otherwise, I would take it to an Oreck shop and see what they can do. I bought mine the same time that you did.

On the vacuum? S/b on the bottom somewhere on a plate or sticker. The motor I bought fit, but the wiring connections were different and not marked, so there was no way to know how to wire it. I sent mine back. Joe

There are two different vacuum cleaner. One is an upright and the other is a hand/shoulder canister. You can't use them together. Two different machines.

Haven't encountered this problem. Our vacuum is working just fine. Might want to try cust. support.

I actually used my compressor. I turned the pressure way down but you really have to be careful if you use a compressor. Just blow it up really slow whatever you use.

I don't use this anymore exceptwhen I have a handyman around. Now I use the auto vacuum cleaner like the Hayward TigerShark. Drop it in the pool and let it work. I brought it from the internet.

You can do one of 2 things. Hit Manual Seal (with the bag in the vacuum area) and it will suck for a second or so then seal. Or you can hit the start button and then hit the manual seal to stop the vacuum process. Hope this works, I surely like mine.

As I could never get mine to work I gave it away. I spent 500$ on a bigger pump but it wouldn't work either. Don't buy this loser, go to Pinch A Penny and buy their vacuum that fits on the return. Cost is less than 200$.

I had the same thing happen. I ended up plugging it in to a different outlet and then it worked just fine, but I did have to set the vacuuming schedule back up. Originally I thought it was the outlet, but had it checked out and it was working fine. Italy be worth a try for you.

Check your hose connection, this model is known to have the hose disconnect to the vacuum while being used, and it spills your dirt all back into the air instead of into the canister. It's awful.

I can't specifically answer this question, but have you tried going on the Bissell website or calling a local vacuum repair? They both should be able to answer your question. Just make sure you have the model number ready.
