SUCTION
MOTORRESET
The suction motor reset will shut the motor off if air-
flow is sufficiently restricted to cause motor overheat-
ing and possible damage
to the vacuum
cleaner.
Once the reset goes into effect, the vacuum
cleaner
will not operate
for approximately
10 minutes. At this
time the unit should be unplugged
from the electri-
cal outlet and checked
for clogging.
Follow the
instructions under "CLOG REMOVAL" on page 15.
Even though dust bags may appear to be not full,
there are times when airflow through them may
become
severely restricted. This can happen from
picking up fine dust particle materials such as plaster
dust, talc or other powders. These materials can clog
the pores in the bag and close off airflow, causing
the reset button to go into effect. If this condition
exists, the bag must be changed.
See "BAG CHANG-
ING" instructions staffing on page 9.
When all airflow passages are clean, the dust bag
• has been checked
to be satisfactory,
and approxi-
mately
10 minutes have passed, use a pencil, ball
point pen tip or similar item to push the reset button
back in. See nstruct ons n the Ilustrat on to the right.
The reset button must be pushed in for the vacuum
cleaner to resume operation.
