Kleen Kuip generally keep very few if any units with dual 3-stage vacs in stock. It's nice to have the availability of that overdrive suction but a lot cleaners prefer to keep it simple with only one electrical cord and most are always looking for lower, lower pricing.]]> Tue, 10 Oct 2006 13:09:19 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2973&PID=68813&title=blowing-circuits#68813 <![CDATA[Blowing Circuits : no extension cords did not use...]]> https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2973&PID=68801&title=blowing-circuits#68801 Author: dennis_is_ok

dennis_is_ok,

You purchased your unit from the wrong people. Kleen Kuip would either correct it's problem, switch you to something else or cheerfully refund your money. You simply cannot do business any other way in our industry as it's too small and bad news travels fast.
 
Other things to look at:
 
  1. Are you running it with extention cords?
  2. If so, is the gauge of the cord higher or lower than the units cord?
  3. Are you operating your unit in older building corridors? They are generally wired for vacuum cleaners.
  4. Are you attempting to run this with a new brisk shampoo brush with harsh brissels? Brush should be broken-in on concrete first to eliminate sharpness.
  5. You say you can't return it. Have you spoken with the manufacturer about this? As they are a long standing company and are always willing to oblige.

People are telling the guy to plug here and plug there. In a big house you can not do that with two 20' cords.

The few hundred feet of extention cords on carpet cleaning machines is your problem. Only use the shortest, most heavy-duty extention cord that you can. Extention cords draw more amps, slow down your blowers and burn them out prematurely.
 
 
Blowing fuses in apartment hallways happens often as they are generally wired for light-weight vacuum cleaners.

Kitchen receptacles in newer homes are fused at 20 amps, and split, so you can run off the top and bottom of the rec. Other dedicated circuits are referigerator, sump pump, microwave, 120v on stove washing machine.  You  may not have as many problems if you use large sized (14 or 12 AWG) extension cords, the smaller cords will heat up under load and trip breakers or blow fuses.
