MOTOR PROTECTION

SYSTEM

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. 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.
