    UDM Trouble

    I used, or tried to use my UDM today. Half way through the detail the machine started to slow down. I had to switch on and off and adjust the speed. It was like the power was going in and out.

    Is your extension cord heavy enough? Try plugging the machine directly into the socket and see if it makes a difference.

    I have used the same extension cord before with no trouble. Still, good idea. I will give it a try. Maybe the extension cord has gone bad.

    You need new brushes. They are very easy to replace. I sent you a PM.

    If that doesn't work, it maybe the brushes are going.
