Note: Do not block 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. During this time the headlight remains on.

To correct problem: If this occurs, turn the

vacuum off and unplug the power cord from the outlet to allow the vacuum to cool and

the thermal protector to reset. Check for and remove clogs, if necessary, Also check and replace any clogged filters. Wait approximately thirty (30) minutes and plug the vacuum in and turn back on to see if the motor protector has reset. The motor protector will not reset if the vacuum is not turned off even if the vacuum has cooled

down.

SOME MODELS

flow, the light on the performance indicator is off. The light comes on whenever the airflow becomes blocked. If that occurs, check the disposable dust bag, motor safety filter and other possible c_og _ocations shown in
