Someone Stole My Vacuum!

IMG_0426.JPG

The worst feeling is driving up to the carwash and everything looks fine then all of a sudden you notice…….. you are missing a VACUUM!  Well I had to call the Police and talk to them, which is fun.  But when I started to dump some garbage I thought my luck was turning around.

I found the vacuum on my lot behind my dumpster.  I was surprise how they got the money out.  But what was really surprising was the damage they inflicted on the vacuum.  The vacuum is totaled, at least that is what I would say.  It is amazing what they did to it.  It really makes me mad….  and they probably will come back, which is worse!

Vacuum break in

Someone broke into all my Jim Coleman vacuums last night and stole about a quarter?  I am not really sure why they did not stop after the first vacuum but they had to mess up all of them.  Thanks!

Procon pump problem? – Update

IMG_0367.JPGIMG_0368.JPGIMG_0370.JPG

I got my temporary Procon pump from my Dad today.  I have never replaced a Procon pump but William said it is easy, which it was.

You just have to remove the old pump.  Mine is a clamp style because it is clamped on like the second picture shows.  The other type is flange type.

Then you put the “magic piece” (second picture) which make everthing work in the motor, line it up with the pump, tighten the clamp on the pump and motor, install all the hoses back correctly and test.  Done!

Motor Starter Meltdown “ Update

I installed my Fuji motor starter today.  It was not that bad.  Not sure what I expected though?  You just need a screwdriver and the power shut off.

Vacuum problem

IMG_0322.JPG

One of my vacuum timers did not have power so I checked it out and something had blown the breaker.  I checked the vacuum motors and one smelled like melting plastic and the other smelled fine.  So I replaced the stinky motor and everything worked great!
