H) MOTOR PROTECTOR

Motor Protector
This vacuum cleaner 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 cleaner,
you will notice a change of sound as air rushes through the
valve opening.
CAUTION:
Do not block motor protector.
To correct problem: See the TROUBLE-SHOOTING
guide (page 13).
NOTE: The motor protector may open when using
attachments or when cleaning new carpet, due to reduced
airflow by the attachments themselves or by new carpet
fluff filling the dust bin quickly. See the TROUBLE-
SHOOTING guide (page 13).
I) THERMAL CUT-OUT
This vacuum cleaner has a thermal cut-out which
automatically trips to protect the vacuum cleaner from
overheating. If a clog prevents the normal flow of air to the
motor, the thermal cut-out turns the motor off automatically to
allow the motor to cool in order to prevent possible damage to
the vacuum cleaner.
To correct problem: If this occurs, turn the vacuum cleaner
off and unplug the vacuum cleaner from the mains outlet to
allow the vacuum cleaner to cool and the thermal cut-out to
reset. Check for and remove clogs, if necessary. Also
check and clean/replace any clogged filters. Wait
approximately forty (40) minutes before switching on the
vacuum cleaner. The motor protector will not reset if the
vacuum cleaner is not turned off even if the vacuum
cleaner has cooled down.
