If your Discovery 120 vacuum isn't performing as well as it should, don't worry - there are a few easy cleaning checks you can do to get it back on track.
Flush with Water: Start by running water through the pipe under the manure tank lid while keeping the vacuum running. The system should fill up and flush the water through, helping to clear any build-up.
Check the Bends: If it doesn’t fill up, manure might have collected and hardened in the 90-degree bends of the line. These areas are common culprits for blockages, so give them a thorough check.
Clean the Filter: Next, remove the vacuum filter cap and clean both the filter and the cap. Be extra cautious not to lose the O-ring during this step, as it's essential for keeping the system sealed.
Clear the Pressure Port: Finally, locate the port below the vacuum system. Manure can easily block this port, preventing the vacuum from releasing pressure. Cleaning it out will help the system work smoothly.
Regularly performing these simple maintenance steps will help ensure your Discovery 120 operates efficiently and keeps your barn clean!
