BELT OVERLOAD PROTECTOR
The agitator drive system has built-in protection
against motor damage should the agitator jam.
If the agitator slows down or stops, the belt overload
protector shuts off the agitator motor.
The vacuum cleaner suction motor will continue to
run.
To correct problem:
Turn off and unplug vacuum cleaner, remove
obstruction, then press BELT RESET BUTTON.
Allow 20 seconds to pass before attempting reset.
NOTE: If the problem persists, have the vacuum
cleaner serviced by a qualified Panasonic
technician.
B) BELT RESET BUTTON
THERMAL PROTECTOR - SUCTION
MOTOR
This vacuum cleaner has a thermal protector which
automatically trips to protect the vacuum cleaner
suction motor. If a clog prevents the normal flow of
air to the 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.
The motor may re-start unexpectedly when it cools.
To reset thermal protector:
Turn the vacuum cleaner off and unplug the mains
lead from the socket to allow the vacuum cleaner to
cool and the thermal protector in the suction motor
to reset.
Check for and remove clogs, and replace bag if
necessary (See CLOG REMOVAL, page 15). Also
check and replace any clogged filters. Wait
approximately 40-50 minutes before restarting
vacuum cleaner.
PERFORMANCE FEATURES
11
BYPASS VALVE
This vacuum cleaner has a motor protector bypass
valve which prevents motor overheating and
damage.
The valve opens to provide cooling air when a clog
or full bag prevents normal air flow to the vacuum
cleaner suction motor.
You will notice a change of sound as air rushes
through the valve opening.
To correct problem install a new dust bag/or
locate and remove the clog (see clog removal,
page 15).
NOTE: The bypass valve may open when cleaning
new carpet due to reduced airflow caused by the
new carpet lint filling the dust bag quickly.
Note: Do not block bypass valve.

To select a pile height setting:
Select a pile height setting by pressing the HEIGHT
ADJUST pedal on the rear of the nozzle. The pile
height setting shows in the indicator window.
Attention: Refer to your carpet manufacturer’s
cleaning recommendations. Some more delicate
carpets may require that they be vacuumed with the
agitator turned off to prevent carpet damage.
D) SUGGESTED PILE HEIGHT SETTINGS
There are four (4) pile height settings on the vacuum
cleaner. For best deep down cleaning, use the XLO
setting. However, you may need to raise the height to
make some jobs easier, such as scatter rugs and
some deep pile carpets, and to prevent the vacuum
cleaner from shutting off.
Suggested settings are:
HI – Shag, deep pile, or scatter rugs.
MED – Medium to deep pile.
LO – Low to medium pile.
XLO – Most low pile carpets, bare floors, and
delicate carpets that require agitator to be turned off.
NOTE: Height adjustments should be made with the
unit in the use position.
CARPET EDGES
Guide either side of the nozzle along the wall.
NOTE: For best cleaning results, keep the airflow passage clear. Unplug the
vacuum cleaner from the mains socket before
checking.
See CLOG REMOVAL (page 15).
