Thermal Cut Off
This vacuum cleaner has a special thermostat that protects
the cleaner in case of motor overheating. If the cleaner sud-
denly shuts off, push the on/off switch off (0) and unplug the
cleaner. Check the cleaner for a possible source of overheat-
ing such as a full dust cup, a blocked hose or clogged filter.
If these conditions are found, fix them and wait at least 30
minutes before attempting to use the cleaner. After the 30
minute period, plug the cleaner back in and push the on/off
switch on (l). If the cleaner still does not run, then take it to a
Eureka Authorized Service Center for repair.
Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any
opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair, and anything
that may reduce airflow.
This vacuum cleaner creates suction and contains a
revolving brush roll. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and
all parts of body away from openings and moving parts.
Do not place cleaner on furniture or stairs as the brush roll
may cause damage. Place cleaner on floor with the handle
in storage position while using attachments.
Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such
as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.
Do not use without dust cup or filter(s) in place.
Belt pulleys can become hot during normal use. To prevent
burns, avoid touching the belt pulley when servicing the
drive belt.
Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids such
as gasoline, or use in areas where they may be present.
Store your cleaner indoors in a cool, dry area.
Keep your work area well lighted.
