IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS VACUUM CLEANER.

WARNING

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

To reduce the risk of electric shock, 

this appliance has a 

polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug 

will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not 

fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, 

contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do 

not change the plug in any way.

GENERAL INFORMATION

picking  up  hard  or  sharp  objects  that  could  damage  the 

vacuum cleaner.

Automatic Motor Shut-Off

To  protect  from  overheating,  this  vacuum  cleaner  is 

equipped  with  a  thermostat  which  automatically  shuts  off 

the motor if it overheats. Should this happen:
1. 

Turn off the switch and unplug the cleaner 

because 

the  thermostat  will  allow  the  cleaner  to  automatically 

start running again when the motor cools (approximately 

30 minutes).

2. 

Check the hose, bag and filter 

regularly, as a clogged 

hose,  full  bag  or  dirty  filter  could  cause  the  motor  to 

overheat.

3. 

Call  a  Eureka  Service  Station

  if  the  cleaner  will  not 

operate after cooling for approximately 30 minutes.
