THERMAL PROTECTOR
This vacuum cleaner has a thermai
protector which automaticaily 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 auiomatically. This allows the
motor to coo! in order to prevent possibie
damage to the vacuum cleaner.
To correct problem: Turn the vacuum
cleaner off and unplug the power cord
from the outiet to allow the vacuum
cleaner to cool and the thermal protector
to reset. Check for and remove clogs, if
necessary. Also check and replace any
clogged filters. Walt approximately
thirty (30) minutes and plug the vacuum
cleaner in and turn back on to see if the
motor protector has reset.

a “U” shaped flange
that slides into the
