MOTOR PROTECTION SYSTEM
Thermal Protector - Suction Motor
This vacuum cleaner has a thermal
protector which automatically trips to
protect the vacuum cleaner suction motor.
If a clog prevents the normal flow of air
to the motor, the thermal protector turns
the motor off automatically. This allows
the motor to cool in order to prevent
possible damage to the vacuum cleaner.
Thermal Protector - Agitator Motor
This vacuum cleaner has a thermal
protector which automatically trips to
protect the agitator motor. The thermal
protector turns the motor off
automatically. This allows the motor to
cool in order to prevent possible damage
to the vacuum cleaner.
To reset thermal protector: Turn the
vacuum cleaner off and unplug the power
cord from the outlet to allow the vacuum
cleaner to cool and the thermal protector
to reset.
_CAUTION
Always return the vaccum cleaner
to the upright position before using
the hose and attachments. Failure
to do so may result in overheating
of the agitator motor and can
cause the thermal protector to trip.
Check for and remove clogs, and replace
bag if necessary. See CLOG REMOVAL
section. Also check and replace any
clogged filters. Wait approximately 40=
50 minutes before restarting vacuum
cleaner.
