This vacuum has 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. The by-pass valve opens to prevent the
motor from overheating and possibly causing
damage to the vacuum. When open, a change of
sound will be noticed as air rushes through the valve
opening. If this occurs, turn the vacuum off and
unplug the power cord from the outlet. Check for
clogs as described in the REMOVING CLOGS
section. -
The motor protector by-pass valve may open when
using attachments or when cleaning new carpet, due
to reduced air flow by the attachments themselves or
by new carpet fuzz filling the bag quickly.
