MOTOR PROTECTOR
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, a change of sound will be noticed as
air rushes through the valveopening. If this o ccurs,
turnthe vacuum offand unplug the power cord from
the outlet. Then check forclogsas describedinthe
CLOG REMOVAL section.
The motor protector by-pass valve may open when
usingattachments or when cleaning new carpet, due
to reduced air flow by the attachments themselves or
by new carpet fuzz filling the bag quickly.
