Troubleshooting
Fluid is visible in the hose, but the suction effect is poor.
The DX12 cannot create suffi cient vacuum.
1. Is the system blocked, causing the operating pressure to fall
below the permissible 5.5 bar? Inspect the compressor, hoses
(suffi cient inside diameter) and the connections and replace if
necessary. Use dry, fi ltered compressed air to prevent the unit
from blocking.
2. Are the seals damaged? Inspect and replace if necessary.
3. Is the suction hose damaged?
4. Is the suction hose correctly connected to the cover?
The DX12 continues to drain fl uid as a result of the siphoning
effect although the operation handle has been returned from
the suction position.
1. Interrupt the siphoning effect by fi rst turning the operation
handle to the drain position, then to the suction position and
fi nally to the neutral position. The pressure gauge should
indicate the 0 position between minus and plus.
The DX12 stops working during operation.
1. The fl oat has closed because the unit is full with fl uid and needs
to be emptied.
2. Too much air has been sucked into the container. This can
cause splashing, causing the fl oat to close. Open the fl oat by
turning the handle to the pressure position and then quickly to
the neutral position.
3. The unit has been used at very low temperature with very damp
compressed air. Place the unit at room temperature.
