Electric Power Nozzle used on Standard Prolux TerraVac Models
Operation
WARNING
: Check the vacuum cleaner and the power cord each time before using it. A damaged
appliance must not be used. There is danger of injury.
ATTENTION
: Only use the vacuum cleaner with all filters intact, in dry condition and correctly placed.
Make sure that the openings of the vacuum cleaner are not clogged or obstructed. Otherwise the vacuum
cleaner might be damaged.
NOTE: Your vacuum cleaner is equipped with a safety switch to prevent overheating. It automatically
cuts off the power supply if the motor is overheated. In this case, switch off the vacuum cleaner and
disconnect it from the outlet. Remove the cause of the overheating. Wait for about 45 minutes. After it
has cooled off, you may use the vacuum cleaner again.
Your vacuum is also equipped with a motor bypass valve. The purpose of this feature is if your vacuum
bag is too full, filters are too dirty, or if there is a clog in the vacuum the valve opens up. When the valve
opens up it allows air to enter in the motor chamber, reducing suction to the hose but making certain the
motor does not over heat and burn up. The Prolux TerraVac is a high end vacuum designed to last many
years. This feature protects the motor and allows it to be used for many years to come. When the motor
bypass valve opens up you will notice less suction and a different sound.
When this happens turn the
vacuum OFF and unplug cord from electrical outlet. Then solve the problem by changing the bag,
filters or removing any clogs.
