should be replaced.

be seen through the top of the nozzle
or by removing the bottom plate and
belt guard (Figs. 46 and 47).

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-
H
nect it from the electrical outlet.
2. Check secondary and final filters for
dirt accumulation.
3. Refer to "Clearing blockages" sec-
tion.
4. When cleaner is unplugged and the
motor cools for 30 minutes, the ther-
mal protector automatically resets and
cleaning may continue.

activate after following the above steps,
your cleaner may need servicing (see
"Service" section.
