MOTOR PROTECTOR
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.
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 fillirlg the dust bin quickly. See the
TROUBLESHOOTING section.
THERMAL PROTECTOR
This vacuum has a thermal protector which
automatically trips to protect the vacuum
from overheating. If a clog prevents the
normal flow of air to the motor, the thermal
protector turns the motor off automatically to
allow the motor to cool in order to prevent
possible damage to the vacuum. During this
time the headlight remains on.
To correct problem: If this occurs, turn the
vacuum off and unplug the power cord from
the outlet to allow the vacuum to cool and
the thermal protector to reset. Check for
and remove clogs, if necessary. Also
check and clean/replace any clogged
filters. Wait approximately thirty (30)
minutes and plug the vacuum in and turn
back on to see if the motor protector has
reset. The motor protector will not reset if
the vacuum is not turned off even if the
vacuum has cooled down.
