When the tank fills, the\nfloat rises and seals the vacuum path, and the machine loses suction — deliberately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThat sudden loss of suction is the float doing its job, not a fault.\u003c\/strong\u003e It is the\nwarning to stop and empty the tank. Operators who do not know that go looking for a blockage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy a failed float is expensive\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the float sticks down, or the assembly is damaged, the machine keeps pulling when the tank is\nfull — and the next thing that happens is recovered water going through the vacuum motor. On an\n804 watt motor that is not a repair, it is a motor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis inexpensive assembly is what stands between a full tank and that outcome, which is why it is\nworth replacing at the first sign of damage rather than at the next service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMaintenance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCheck that the float moves freely every time you empty the tank. Hair, fibre and dried spotting\nchemistry restrict it, and a restricted float is a float that will not lift in time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRinse the assembly rather than just tipping the tank out. A spotter recovers exactly the material\nthat fouls floats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCheck the hatch cover gasket (10-0302-A) at the same time. A lid that does not seal costs suction\nacross the whole job and is easy to miss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSandia's stated warranty on this machine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the manual: lifetime on moulded components, five years on the vacuum motor, five years on the pump, and five years on all electrical components. That is the manufacturer's stated position — check with us before assuming a part is covered, because normal wear items and damage from neglect or abuse are excluded.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNote that lifetime cover on moulded components is stated. Ask us before buying if the failure looks\nlike a moulding defect rather than wear or damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRelated parts\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/sandia-gasket-for-spotter-vac-motors\"\u003eSpotter Motor Gasket (10-1030)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/sandia-on-off-switch-for-backpacks-spotter\"\u003eOn\/Off Switch (10-0025)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMy machine loses suction when the tank gets full.
