MOTOR PROTECTION
SYSTEM
Thermal Protector
This vacuum cleaner has a 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 to allow the motor to cool in
order to prevent possible damage to the
vacuum cleaner.
To correct problem: If this occurs, 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. Also check and clean/replace
any clogged filters. Wait approximately
thirty (30) minutes and plug the vacuum in
and turn back on to see if the motor
protector has reset. The motor protector
will not reset if the vacuum cleaner is not
turned off even if the vacuum cleaner has
cooled down.
Motor Protector "_
This vacuum
cleaner has a
motor protector Motor
by-pass valve
which
automatically
opens to provide
cooling air to the
motor when a
clog prevents the normal flow of air to the
motor. If the by-pass valve opens to
prevent motor overheating and possible
damage to the vacuum cleaner, you will
notice a change of sound as air rushes
through the valve opening.
Note: Do not block motor protector.
To correct problem: See the TROUBLE-
SHOOTING chart.
Note: The motor protector may open when
using attachments or when cleaning new
carpet, due to reduced airflow by the
attachments themselves or by new carpet
fuzz filling the dust bag quickly. See the
TROUBLESHOOTING section.
