MOTOR PROTECTION
SYSTEM
This vacuum has a motor protector by-
pass valve which automatically opens to
provide cooling air to the motor when a
clog prevents the normal flow of air to the
motor. If the by-pass valve opens to
prevent motor overheating and possible
damage to the vacuum, you will notice a
change of sound
as air rushes
through the valve
opening.
NOTE: Do not
block motor
protector
To correct
problem: See the
TROUBLE-
SHOOTING
chart.
Motor
Protector
NOTE: The motor protector may open
when using attachments or when cleaning
new carpet, due to reduced airflow by the
attachments themselves or by new carpet
fuzz filling the bag quickly. See the
TROUBLESHOOTING section.
PERFORMANCE INDICATOR
SOME MODELS
When the unit is running with normal air
flow, the light on the performance indicator
is off. The light comes on whenever the
airflow becomes blocked. If that occurs,
check the disposable dust bag, motor
safety filter and other possible clog
locations shown in CLOG REMOVAL.
To correct
problem: See
the
TROUBLE-
SHOOTING
chart.
NOTE: The
light may
also come on"
when using
attachments,
due to
reduced
airflow
through the
attachment.
