 Topic: Having fuse box issues with my NinjaPosted: 20/December/2007 at 6:03pm |

Ok, bought the Ninja 400. It was on sale and I was on a tight budget. Have cleaned two homes and popped both breakers at the fuse box in both homes multiple times. I plugged in both cords. One for the heater, other for the vacs. However, I had to keep one of the vacs off because the extra juice was popping the fuse box. On the second house, the lady was not home and I had to spend 30 minutes trying to find the box (behind a picture in her stupid kitchen). Any ideas on how to solve this? Don't even think about saying, "Buy a TM!"

you need to plug one into the stove and one into where the washer plugs in. Most new homes have splitters in the kitchen and the bathroom. You cannot plug both cords in the same room.

Doug has the recipe for success, safety. Simple tips: 1) don't share a circuit; 2) when possible, use an outlet the washer/dryer uses; 3) the vacs pull more power than the heater, so give them priority when evaluating circuits; 4) best case scenario: plug one into the laundry room and the other into a kitchen socket (older homes often have the entire kitchen on one circuit, so you may want to unplug the fridge if you don;t have better options). Like doug said, if you can plug into the stove, that's great. I'm my experience, the stove outlet is hardly ever accessible though.

You bought the wrong machine!
OK now that that is out of the way...DON'T TURN THE HEATER ON and get a circuit locater and get plugged into 20 amp circuits if you can!!! have fun

hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Don't think you would appreciate my comment either because there certainly would have been a common-sense approach or reasoning here unless one wanted to "just purchase a squirt & suck" machine.
Think I'll just turn over and go back to sleep. Ed Valentine Name Held by Request |

Buy a circuit locater.
Now you will be sure where to plug into and you will look professional and also eliminate your frustrations.

shut off the power and install your own 30 amp breaker down at the fuse box

All good above.. What one overlooks is your ext.cord.. If its twisted inside from the hand to shoulder wrap you will pull more amps.. It increases the magnetic field.. More amps more circuits blown..

The carbon brushes in the vacs need replaced, simple and inexpensive to do
