Thermal Motor Protection
CAUTION! To Reduce the Risk of Injury From
Moving Parts, Unplug Before Servicing.
Your vacuum is equipped with a safeguard
to recognize when the vacuum might
overheat and shuts itself off. When this
happens the headlights are still on but the
motors shut off. Common reasons why a
vacuum may overheat include operating
with a full bag or when there is a clog in
the vacuum.
If the Thermal Motor Protection System
shuts off your vacuum, follow these steps:
• Unplug the vacuum.
• Inspect the vacuum for a full bag
condition or a hose clog and correct
the problem.
• Locate the Thermal Motor Protection Reset
Button on the back of the vacuum. Press
the button and resume vacuuming.
If problem continues, contact your
Authorized Riccar Vacuum Retailer.
