    All the vacuums should come on at the same time. There are collection bags on each one under the press that should be cleaned periodically. If you take the bag off the one for the first unit you should have quite a bit of exhaust air blowing out of it. If not, the vacuum is probably not working.

    I have a similar problem on unit 2, when you remove the bag the air doesn't blow, I tried exchanging with the next one which works, and it s doing the same think, could it be the cable? or one of those red plugs on the board?

    It is hard to say without being there to look at it. Obviously you should check both items mentioned, you can swap the plug to another motor and see if it comes on, if it does then you know the motor is bad.

    use SF 71 for switching the blower on/off using +/- button.

    Also, you can take the vacuums out and put your hand over the hole. If the vacuum is working you should feel a slight suction - the pumps are always running when the press is on, either high (during the vacuuming stage) or low (the rest of the time).

    This is a true statement although it does not tell you if they are changing speeds to high. Sometimes they work in low but the high circuit is out.
