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
disconnect it from the electrical outlet.
2. Check secondary and final filters for
dirt accumulation.
3. Refer to "Clearing blockages"
section.
4. When cleaner is unplugged and
motor cools for 30 minutes, the
thermal protector automatically resets
and cleaning may continue.
If the thermal protector continues to
activate after following the above steps,
your cleaner may need servicing (see
"Service" section).

When to replace
When agitator brushes are worn, the
agitator should be replaced.
To check condition of brushes, discon-
nect cleaner from electrical outlet.
Move edge of a card across bottom plate
while turning agitator. To maintain
cleaning effectiveness, replace agitator if
brushes do not touch card.

agitator, ask for one of the following:
13" - HOOVER part No. 48414057
