Replace brushes and covers.
Remove first stage vac unit cover and inspect and clean centrifugal vanes.
Replace motors and pipes.
Remove pump and check pipe connections.

Parts that are past their best are renewed as required.

Depending on the machine this lot will take from 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours according to how awkward acess is. Some are a lot better than others.
