Thermal Protector
➢ This vacuum cleaner has a thermal protector which automatically trips to protect
the vacuum cleaner from overheating.
➢ If a clog prevents the normal flow of air to the motor, the thermal protector turns
the motor off automatically. This allows the motor to cool in order to prevent
possible damage to the vacuum cleaner.
TO CORRECT PROBLEM:
➢ Turn the vacuum cleaner off and unplug the power cord from the outlet to allow
the vacuum cleaner to cool and the thermal protector to reset.
➢ Check for and remove clogs, if necessary (See REMOVING CLOGS p. 40, 42).
Also check and replace any clogged filters and change dust bag, if necessary.
➢ Wait approximately fifty (50) minutes and then plug the vacuum cleaner in and
turn back on to see if the thermal protector has reset.
Motor Protector
➢ The motor protector automatically
opens to provide cooling air to the
motor when a clog occurs or when
dust bag needs changing.
➢ Motor protector may open when
using tools.
➢ If motor protector opens, the
vacuum will make a slightly
different sound.
Note: Do not block motor protector.
