Agitator Motor Overload Protection
OPERATION
This vacuum cleaner has a thermal
overload protector which automatically
activates 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
automatically to allow the motor to cool
in order to prevent possible damage to
the vacuum cleaner. To correct problem: Turn the vacuum
cleaner off and unplug the power cord.
Check for and remove clogs, if
necessary. Also check and
clean/ replace any clogged filters.
Wait approximately 30 minutes and
plug the vacuum cleaner in and turn
back on to see if the motor protector
has reset. The thermal protector system
will not reset until the vacuum cleaner
has cooled down.
