Interesting problem today: the timer said “STOP”. I have never seen that before. I am not sure what “STOP” means but I turned the vacuum off then on and everything worked fine again.
Vacuum Motor Swap
I did a vacuum motor swap today. I swapped a broken vacuum motor for a new motor.
Someone Stole My Vacuum!
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!
Vacuum Island Problem
I had a vacuum island problem where the drain got clogged up. I had to stuff a wire hanger in the drain to fix the problem.
Abus Diskus high security lock problem – Update
I know one thing about opening a Coleman vacuum with a drill and that’s that you will not be doing it with a battery power drill. What a pain! Only 3-4 more to go. Actually Greg drove by today and I am going to try some of his suggestions first: TNT, jackhammer or wrecking crane.
Abus Diskus high security lock problem
Wow that sucks! My Abus lock key broke in the Coleman vacuum today. What makes it worse is I only had one key and I have 3-4 more locks keyed the same. Man I am stupid and no I do not have the key number. Anyone have any hints on drilling out Abus locks without keys in them let me know.
LAI lock install
Last of the LAI Fragramatics vacuum install.
Lock the vacuums up?
I guess it is about time to lock all the vacuums up again. The vacuum thief is leaving the doors open randomly and making a mess. The only problem is when I lock the doors he/she is going to break into them like last time. What a hassle.
LAI lock install
Second try on the Fragramatics vacuum Van Lock replacements. This time I purchased LAI series 500 locks that can be installed left and right and the key can be pulled out! (The fist picture shows the Van lock and the second picture shows the LAI 500 lock.)
