If a minor problem develops, it usually

below.
Possible cause

plugged in
• Plug in firmly
• No voltage in wall receptacle
• Check fuse or breaker
• Blown fuse/tripped breaker
• Replace fuse/reset breaker
• Thermal protector activated
• Allow thermal protector
to cool for
30 minutes (this will allow the ther-
mal protector to reset).
Possible cause
Possible solution
• Filter dirty
• Clean filter
• Obstruction in hose or cleaning
tools
• If the blockage is in the hose, dis-
connect
hose from power unit.
Insert a long blunt item, such as a
broom handle, to clear the block-
age.
• Check tools, wands, etc. for
blockages.
• Dirt container
full or misposi-
tioned
• 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.
