•Plug in firmly

•No voltage in wall receptacle

•Check fuse or breaker

•Blown fuse/tripped breaker

•Check to see if the dirt container needs to be emptied.

•Check to see if the dirt container is properly positioned and secure- ly attached.

Thermal protector

An internal thermal protector has been designed into your cleaner to protect it from overheating.

When the thermal protector activates, the cleaner will stop running. If this happens, proceed as follows:

1.Turn the cleaner OFF and discon- nect it from the electrical outlet.

2.Check filter for dirt accumulation.

3.Refer to “Suction low” section under “If you have a problem”.

4.When cleaner is unplugged and the motor cools for 30 minutes, the thermal protector automatically resets and clean- ing may continue.

If the thermal protector continues to acti- vate after following the above steps, your cleaner may need servicing (see “Service” section).

Lubrication

The motor is equipped with bearings that contain sufficient lubrication for the life of the motor. The addition of lubricant could cause damage. Therefore, do not add lubricant to motor bearings.
