MOTOR PROTECTION
SYSTEM
Thermal Protector
This vacuum cleaner 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. This allows the
motor to cool in order to prevent possible
damage to the vacuum cleaner.
To correct problem: If this occurs, 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. Also check and
clean/replace any clogged filters. Wait
approximately thirty (30) minutes and
plug the vacuum cleaner In and turn
back on to see if the motor protector
has reset. The motor protector will not
reset if the vacuum cleaner is not
turned off even if the vacuum cleaner
has cooled down.
MOTOR PROTECTOR
This vacuum cleaner is also equipped with
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 cleaner, 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 table.
Note; The motor protector may open
when using attachments or when cleaning
new carpet, due to reduced airflow caused
by the attachments themselves or by new
carpet lint filling the dust bin quickly. See
the TROUBLESHOOTING table.
