WARNING:

fire, electrical shock, injury to persons or damage when using your vacuum cleaner, follow basic safe ty precautions including the following:

Read all instructions in this manual before assembling or using your vacuum cleaner.

Use your cleaner only as described in this manual. Use only with Sears recommend ed attachments.

Disconnect eiectrical supply before servic ing or cleaning out the brush area. Failure to do so could result in electrical shock or the brush suddenly starting.

Do not leave cleaner when plugged in. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before performing maintenance.

To reduce the risk of electrical shock - Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.

Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near children.

Do not use with a damaged cord or plug. If cleaner is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped in water, return it to a Sears Service Center.

Do not puli or carry by cord, use cord as a handle, close a door on cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or corners. Do not run cleaner over cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.

Do not handle plug or cleaner with wet hands.

Do not put any objects into openings. Do not use with any opening blocked; keep

free of dust, lint, hair, and anything that may reduce air flow.

Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from openings and moving parts.

Turn off all controls before unplugging.

Use extra care when cleaning on stairs. Do not put on chairs, tables, etc. Keep on

floor.

Do not use cleaner to pick up flammable or combustible liquids (gasoline, cleaning fluid, perfumes, etc.), or use in areas where they may be present. The fumes from these substances can create a fire

hot ashes.

Do not use cleaner without dust bin and/or filters in place.

Always clean the dust bin after vacuuming carpet cleaners or freshener, powders, and fine dust. These products clog the filters,

reduce airflow and can cause damage to the cleaner. Failure to clean the dust bin could cause permanent damage to the cleaner.

PERFCmMANCBSAreTY TCATURES

MOTOR PROTECTION SYSTEM

Motor Protector This vacuum cleaner has a motor protector by-pass valve which automatically opens to provide cooling air to the vacuum cleaner

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.

To correct problem; See the TROUBLE SHOOTING section.

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 dust bin quickly. See the TROUBLESHOOTING section.

Note: Do not block motor protector.

Motor Protector (Behind Hose)

To correct problem; 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 dogs, if necessary.

See page 19, CLOG REMOVE section. Also check «md replace any dogged filters. Wait approximatety tttirty (30) minutes and

plug the vacuum cleamer In and turn back

on to see if the motor protector has reset.

AGITATOR MOTOR

OVERLOAD PROTECTOR

The agitator motor has built-in protection

against motor damage should the agitator

jam. If the agitator slows down or stops, the

agitator overload protector shuts off the

agitator motor. The vacuum cleaner motor

will continue to run.

To correct prd>lem: Turn off and unplug vacuum cleaner, remove obstruction, then

press reset button.

To reset: Push in

the agitator

overload protector button.

Thermal Protector This vacuum cleaner has a thermal

protector, which automatically trips to protect both the vacuum cleaner and the agitator motor from overheating. If a clog prevents the normal flow of air to tfie motor, the thermal protector turns the motor off automatically. This allows the motor to cool

in order to prevent possible damage to the

vacuum cleaner.

If the pr<d>Iem persists, have the vacuum

deaner serviced by a Sears or other

qualified technidan.
