PERFORMANCE / SAFETY FEATURES
➢
This vacuum cleaner has an internal thermal protector which automatically 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 automatically. This allows 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 from the outlet to allow
the vacuum cleaner to cool and the thermal protector to reset.
➢
Check for and remove clogs, if necessary (See REMOVING CLOGS p. 28). Also
check and replace any clogged filters and empty dust bin, if necessary.
➢
Wait approximately fifty (50) minutes and then plug the vacuum cleaner in and
turn back on to see if the motor protector has reset.
Thermal Protector
Motor Protector
This vacuum cleaner also has a motor
protector by-pass valve which prevents
motor overheating and 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 dust cup
and clean the primary filter and pre-filter.
Check for and remove clogs, and empty
dust cup if necessary. See REMOVING
CLOGS (page 28).
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
themselves or by new carpet.
