Felt a loss of power when I was using my truck mount. It felt like the suction was half power. The throttle was full blast. It felf as if there was a clog in the line. I shut it down and cleaned out the hose. turned it on and off a few times and it then got back its normal suction power. what can it be?? Also how many times a year should I shoot greese into the nipples on the vac mother on the truckmount? I cleaned the orfice & I replaced the gas filter after the job.
 
 
Thanks
 
 
John

Thats right there was a couple of soap patches on the carpet. When I was going over them they got very white I kept going over them until it was gone. I asked the customer if they used a over the counter carpet spray and they said yes. How do I defoam using my truck mount?

hide has nothing to do with it.....lol
 
sometimes you hit a soapy patch....
 
if it's a bad spot you may need a bit of defoamer...
 
I havent used it myself... by the time you run to the truck...the suction will return....
 
I bet my hide cleans better than yours douggie
 
I challenge you to a clean-off!!!!
