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 bypass 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.

Motor protector

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. 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.
