or property damage could result.
MOTOR PROTECTION SYSTEM
This vacuum cleaner is also equipped with
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 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 table. 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 lint filling the bag quickly. See the
TROUBLESHOOTING table

DIRT SENSOR
The electronic dirt sensor is a feature
which will detect particles as they pass
through the vacuum cleaner.
The dirt sensor indicator is located on the
front of the switch cover.
The red light indicates dirt is being picked
up by the cleaner.
OPERATION
As you vacuum, the red indicator light wilt
come on and stay on as long as the
sensor detects a high concentration of
particles passing through the vacuum
cleaner.
No tight indicates that most of the
cleaning is complete.
A
WARNING
Electrical Shock And Personal
Injury Hazard
Disconnect electrical supply before
performing maintenance to the
unit. Failure to do so could result in
electrical shock or personal injury
from cleaner suddenly starting.
TO CLEAN DIRT SENSOR OPTICS
The dirt sensor optics consist of two optic
cells located inside the bag holder.
Occasionally, it may become necessary to
clean the two optic cells to assure
maximum performance. It is
recommended the optic cells be cleaned:
•When the red light stays on
continuously.
•When dirt or dust adheres to the
optic cells.
•Whenever the dust bag is changed.
To clean the sensor, wipe the optic cells
with a soft, dry cloth. Never use cleaners
or liquids as they can help speed the
recoating of the optic cells and make it
necessary to clean them much sooner
than normal. The dirt sensor area can be
reached by removing the dust cover and
the dust bag.
