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_
To correct problem:
See the TROUBLE-
SHOOTING
