The machine is equipped with self-resetting thermal safety fuses located in the
electric box beneath the solution tank. These fuses interrupt the power supply
to the brush and suction motor when the machine exceeds the predetermined
current limit. To restore power to the motor, switch off the machine and wait
for the fuses to cool down. If the switch interrupts power supply again, contact
Betco technical service assistance.
