Title: Hoover Turbopower Total System U2798
Post by: beko1987 on January 04, 2015, 09:25:42 pm
A fellow collector offered me this a few months ago, and I took him up on it. It ran well, but was in need of a refurb. Christmas, the goblin commander and car issues got in the way, and the poor Turbopower sat in the corner of our bedroom getting in the way

Until the other night, when I grabbed it out and got to work:

There are 2 clips to remove the bag door, but they are a right pain to unclip in situ, so it's easier to remove the trunnion cover whole, then pop the clips out

(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-zQCtNpzaBqM/VKl1ufTlAjI/AAAAAAAAglA/udAp8na-Ld4/s800/IMG_20150102_150947.jpg)

This is a bottom of the line model, so has NO frills. Like the hole that would hold the air freshener housing has a blanking plate over it

(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-KoTiHgj9KwQ/VKl1wI5TzxI/AAAAAAAAgas/Qnfjb5X5HNA/s800/IMG_20150102_151050.jpg)

Door catch off next

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-YwTXyVKbd20/VKl1xhxfB1I/AAAAAAAAga0/2Uv50PaxrpM/s800/IMG_20150102_151105.jpg)

Laid her down to start at the top

(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-3K6AdG8CNl0/VKl11mimcDI/AAAAAAAAgbE/1ZCGiiUi7tY/s512/IMG_20150102_151156.jpg)

2 screws and the bag fill tube can be removed

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-hh-IqQagva8/VKl13WoU15I/AAAAAAAAgmU/HrDsvwL_AS0/s800/IMG_20150102_151210.jpg)

The wiring cover plate comes off now

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-e8W-txppM3Y/VKl15JFpZSI/AAAAAAAAgnA/P8vCy1mkIW8/s800/IMG_20150102_151232.jpg)

The blanking plate for the bag full indicator to the left

(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-Nwkfu1vUzYM/VKl2r1ffrWI/AAAAAAAAgbo/6aaJY60aG-c/s800/IMG_20150102_151803.jpg)

Switch has moved to the main body too on this model

(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-Cn7rJtu0XjQ/VKl2wTUZDUI/AAAAAAAAgbw/2w108wG02uc/s800/IMG_20150102_151824.jpg)

Not much wiring under here!

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Dm12EYpT3GA/VKl3C2OWkrI/AAAAAAAAgb4/Xmw8VSGQb0I/s800/IMG_20150102_151829.jpg)

All removed

Where the switch should be, in the handle is another blanking plate

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-uXeIY0Lr_f0/VKl3bbRAv5I/AAAAAAAAgcI/nOa2AQbqjyY/s800/IMG_20150102_152323.jpg)

Oddly it consists of a main switch body with an inner blank

Popped the handle cap off

(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-NKCJ5wCG-uk/VKl3sTZ5sXI/AAAAAAAAgcQ/Z0srgmUMhAk/s800/IMG_20150102_152414.jpg)

Tools off the machine. I have the upholstry brush somewhere, but tbh I don't know where. It'll turn up!

(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-WondU9xp4HE/VKl3wc2qTDI/AAAAAAAAgcg/giXeXBmeCIM/s800/IMG_20150102_152503.jpg)

This little screw hiding under the handle releases the top cord hook

(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-N0N8B3-Ce_4/VKl3zOqr0MI/AAAAAAAAgco/bj3hyhDUnp0/s800/IMG_20150102_152553.jpg)

The real switch pops out

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-5JkeX4vVZfs/VKl30qbnyYI/AAAAAAAAgcw/y8YWBC5rppo/s800/IMG_20150102_152615.jpg)

4 screws in the inside of the bag housing releases the tool holder

(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/--shTimUg5iw/VKl32QOl6eI/AAAAAAAAgc4/Xe7fBFVz9ck/s800/IMG_20150102_152855.jpg)

2 more on the side releases the hose holster

(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-SK-6_jL68J4/VKl34eLBV-I/AAAAAAAAgdA/epYPtcYl4R0/s800/IMG_20150102_152901.jpg)

The extension tube sits inside this

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-VJcRJXFTaz8/VKl36R74JlI/AAAAAAAAgdI/jJuP848nbHA/s512/IMG_20150102_153017.jpg)

On to the lower half now, the height adjuster knob pops off

(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-X8mdnXlud5s/VKl38QBCYhI/AAAAAAAAgdQ/RVPUkkaTZRE/s800/IMG_20150102_153034.jpg)

Then the machine flips over, and the base plate comes off

(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-Vofv5Ilw4Ss/VKl3-fjeTbI/AAAAAAAAgdY/7sNO_yh9Ino/s800/IMG_20150102_153057.jpg)

Yummy...

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-cdDfHMBRVok/VKl4AUI033I/AAAAAAAAgdg/tQ7a17_5jgU/s800/IMG_20150102_153314.jpg)

I scraped off the worse so I didnt clog the plughole when washing it

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-CFfSqO-lNH8/VKl4CVlECkI/AAAAAAAAgdo/IocOJhV4vbs/s800/IMG_20150102_153535.jpg)

Activator lifts out

(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-c1oR_Pxc0V4/VKl4G8qplMI/AAAAAAAAgd4/opX-rvumFM8/s800/IMG_20150102_153758.jpg)

And is stripped down

Hiding under the chassis are 2 screws that release the hood

(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-MaTWVlSn6XA/VKl4MI1ryAI/AAAAAAAAgeI/F9Qw9WSESsg/s800/IMG_20150102_154348.jpg)

The main motor wires unplug from the supressor block

(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-rict53h4HFk/VKl4NwW0ulI/AAAAAAAAgeQ/G-c9__S8nbQ/s512/IMG_20150102_154415.jpg)

2 hinge plates unscrew, and the upper part can be removed from the lower half

(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-g0N0CSCzmCw/VKl4P2mgC0I/AAAAAAAAgeY/PgGzaVlZ3Ic/s800/IMG_20150102_154654.jpg)

Another example of mingebaggery, the lower cord hook isn't on this, there's a blanking plate. Underneath is all the mouldings to fit the spring and hook, but it never was!

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-0q5BFrA8k5g/VKl4RzIC-LI/AAAAAAAAgrA/lF5Bf1vC3I0/s800/IMG_20150102_154716.jpg)

Wiring block pops out, and the cables pull off their respective terminals

(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-1Oc2paK13cE/VKl4YfkjK-I/AAAAAAAAge4/2CM3LX2AA6o/s512/IMG_20150102_155019.jpg)

Skips a bit here, but the fan screws off, the 2 spacer washers are removed, 4 motor casing screws are removed (phillips not flathead as it's a later model), and the armature can be withdrawn

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4jKPMbgPMIs/VKl4eAitqtI/AAAAAAAAgrM/Eg5MNZJguOg/s800/IMG_20150102_155620.jpg)

Carbons have life left in them

(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-ddJieu22T3I/VKl4fpEiWeI/AAAAAAAAgfY/f6fxgk1WXEw/s800/IMG_20150102_155810.jpg)

Height adjuster wheels next

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-179EonDcra4/VKl4hx2u7OI/AAAAAAAAgrU/LicD0iL4eQs/s800/IMG_20150102_160006.jpg)

Being a total system model, there is an additional gate that closes to provide suction to the tools

(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-OnZPATANe3Y/VKl4jqhZeRI/AAAAAAAAgfo/EMRSusrvURU/s800/IMG_20150102_160046.jpg)

Being a late model, then wheels are held on with annoying non-removable crimps, so I left them on and just removed the caps

(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-n-_sHpIYa4g/VKl4lt4xswI/AAAAAAAAgrc/WjhQ9bVLWws/s800/IMG_20150102_160258.jpg)

Everything was then washed and dried, and re-assembled this afternoon!

Motor first

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-19GEPvrSe70/VKl4n9vqDJI/AAAAAAAAgf4/eG_ZxzRzRrk/s800/IMG_20150104_144246.jpg)

The foam vibration damper glues back onto the chassis

(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-tXYJA1E8rSQ/VKl4yKGmogI/AAAAAAAAgr4/m6DSeR6TwZY/s800/IMG_20150104_145900.jpg)

The motor rubbers are cleaned up, the bellows re-fitted and the motor clamped back down

(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-5Qbtp5pGALU/VKl40rsS2fI/AAAAAAAAggo/U3sq2eIqhH4/s800/IMG_20150104_150331.jpg)

Pivot points greased up, as a common flaw with the Turbopower 1 is the pivots becoming dry, not pivoting anymore and the trunnion shatters

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-QoYrMxXIVhk/VKl42zICjdI/AAAAAAAAgsA/uUauBmEF_AY/s800/IMG_20150104_150504.jpg)

and fitted to the chassis

(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-OnKYQGCcBNI/VKl5DwogSTI/AAAAAAAAghg/jaVdTNJdb-k/s800/IMG_20150104_152718.jpg)

All done under the hood, the hood can be re-fitted, and I screwed the hose holster back on

(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-MkXE2oOS1VM/VKl5FzmQo_I/AAAAAAAAgiI/62DR-2-tT5U/s512/IMG_20150104_153550.jpg)

SWMBO came home at this point, so everything was re-assembled inbetween helping to put the shopping away, stopping my daughter emptying my toolbox, and I got a new bag out of the shed, along with an air freshener

(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-bYtDv2PTnCY/VKl5Jg2wCKI/AAAAAAAAgh0/bkF5TT9Z7Aw/s512/IMG_20150104_161833.jpg)

And she is done, just needs a final polish before I can call it done!

(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-CeAR37JxxhQ/VKl5LkXR19I/AAAAAAAAgh8/TfX2an2aQOg/s512/IMG_20150104_161942.jpg)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpOinrnzY_c&list=UUv0y2E43HyJMX85p-Wxro0Q (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpOinrnzY_c&list=UUv0y2E43HyJMX85p-Wxro0Q)

even the tool suction is pretty good for one of these! (400w Dirty fan motor)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fL7cIcalvEY&list=UUv0y2E43HyJMX85p-Wxro0Q (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fL7cIcalvEY&list=UUv0y2E43HyJMX85p-Wxro0Q)

And another Turbopower 1 is done, even if this one is from April 1996, so VERY late.
