Motor
Protector .... ! ., _ [
This vacuum has a motor protector by-pass
valve which automatically opens to provide
cooling air to the motor when a clog
prevents the normal flow of air. If the by-
pass valve opens to prevent motor
overheating and possible damage to the
vacuum, a change of sound will be noticed
as air rushes through the valve opening° If
this occurs, turn the vacuum off and unplug
the power cord from the outlet. Then check
for clogs as described under the CLOG
REMOVAL section_
The motor protector by-pass valve may open
when using attachments or when cleaning
new carpet, due to reduced air flow by the
attachments themselves or by new carpet
fuzz filling the bag quickty.
Note: Do not block motor protector.
