Step 1 – Venturi Check

  1. Set the unit to “Vehicle Drain” position

  2. Block the nylon suction hose with your finger

  3. Observe the pressure gauge :

    • The vacuum must reach at least 0.70 bar

➡️ If the vacuum does not reach 0.70 bar :
🔧 The Venturi is probably clogged → cleaning required


🧪 Step 2 – Waste Tank Check (50L)

🟠 Case 1: Tank blocked by residues or sludge

  • Open the drain hose valve

  • Blow into the line with an air gun to unblock it


🔴 Case 2: Cracked tank

  • A cracked tank can cause a loss of vacuum

  • This makes draining ineffective
