just did this to my 570 today, i was at 12.5, now 14!! I do need a new brake tho because the bolt wore through the housing some, this happened 1500 hours ago as well. Im thinking where it wasnt adjusted properly it was shaking around to much on the spring!
I run a 570 and was told by my supplier not to touch this otherwise it will void the warranty is this true Mike? Even when Im running only 100ft hose its around 10hg which I thought is low for a 570
So This makes me wonder, what happens with too much suction, does it damage the machine, or does it make the wand suck to the rug so hard you can’t move it? I’m the type that would want to crank it up to the highest I could with damaging the machine or otherwise making it unusable.
Mike Pailliotet wow, these must have more sealed suction capability than I thought... I’m in the central vacuum business, so the motors I deal with are very different. Only recently have these machines reached into this region. I’m more familiar with inches of water as well, and I looked and 14 inches of mercury is about 190 inches of water. Which is definitely more power than anything portable. I’m sure it moves a higher volume of air too? Also my central vac at home has 132 inches of water at sea level, but here in Denver I only get about 110, definitely enough loss that a truck mount would leave more water behind...

Great info Mike!
so whts the average settings most guys use, 12-14 lift.
I'd say 14 under full load

Up to you but I'd crank it up..
I’d kick it up to at least 14

You'll cave in the tank as well as create lock down on the floor being cleaned, removing all lift

Thanks! Great tip
I have an increase in vaccum by going to a kunkul valve
Prochen used to SAY the vac relief was made to leak to keep the bLOWErcooler, at a cost of less niches of accum.
