PERFORMANCE FEATURES
Motor protector
This vacuum has a motor protector bypass
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, you will
notice a change of sound as air rushes through
the valve opening.
NOTE: Do not block motor protector.
To correct problem; Check for and remove
clogs. See CLOG REMOVAL 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 fuzz
filling the dust bin quickly.
Agitator overload protector
The agitator 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.
The suction motor will remain on at this time.
To correct problem: Turn off and unplug
vacuum, remove obstruction and press reset
button.
To reset, push reset button once.
Thermal protector
This vacuum has a thermal protector which
automatically trips to protect the vacuum 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.
To correct problem: If this occurs, turn the
vacuum off and unplug the power cord from the
outlet to allow the vacuum to cool.
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 thermal
protector system will not reset untill the vacuum
has cooled down.
