Title: HELP - trying to change vac on pfx1350 for tmrw
Post by: absolutecleaning on July 03, 2009, 08:33:53 pm

As above really - have got the old one off but the new lamb vac we have doesnt seem to have connecting holes in the right places to bolt on securely.  If I just bolt on by one side will it not try to fall out of the machine while in use?

Cheers

Simon

You need to make up a simple bracket.

Cheers Dennis - I remember that thread but not the end of it so at least I know now.

Not sure why I have just been sold a Lamb vac which isnt going to fit >:(

Do you think I would get away with fixing it by one point just for tomorrow?  (just thought about it I supppose it would mean there wasnt a vacuum there as the pad wouldnt be held airtight but am willing to be told I'm wrong ???)

Have had it about 2 years but the vac is only about 9 mths old.   Its one of the chinese but I did trip and spill water all down machine today so am fairly sure thats what caused this particular fault.

Its a bit late to call Jeff out the blue right now (?) but will try him tomorrow if I cant get this sorted tonight. Trouble is I have two biggish jobs booked starting 8.30

Not sure whether to risk trying it with only one bolt connected or whether this simply wouldnt work anyway (as above)

OK Jeff cheers will do that - think I may be able to borrow machine for first job now so if I can it will be after that.  If not what sort of time are you up and about?

Thanks again

Simon
