Motor Protector - Bypass Valve
This vacuum

has a motor
protector
bypass valve
(Fig. 1)
that prevents the
motor from
overheating
and causing
damage.
The valve opens
to provide
cooling air
when a clog prevents normal air flow to the
vacuum cleaner suction motor. You will notice
a change of sound as air rushes through the
valve opening.
To correct problem:
Empty the dustbin
and clean the filters.
Check for and remove clogs, and empty the
dustbin if necessary.
Note:
Do not block motor protector.
Note:
The motor protector may open when
using attachments or when cleaning new
carpet due to reduced airflow caused by the
attachments or by new carpet lint filling the
dustbin quickly.

Thermal Motor Protector
This vacuum cleaner has a motor protector
thermal valve that prevents the motor from
overheating. If a clog prevents the normal flow
of air to the motor, the thermal protector turns off
the motor automatically. This allows the motor to
cool in order to prevent damage to the vacuum
cleaner.
To correct problem:
Turn off the vacuum
cleaner and unplug the power cord from the
outlet to allow the vacuum cleaner to cool and
the thermal protector in the suction motor to reset.
Check for and remove clogs, and empty the
dustbin if necessary.
Check and replace any clogged or dirty filters.
Wait approximately 40-50 minutes before
restarting the vacuum cleaner.
