THERMAL PROTECTOR
Thisvacuum cleaner has a thermal
protector which automatically trips to

overheating, if a clog prevents the normal
flow of air to the motor, the thermal
protector turns the motor off

cool in order to prevent possible damage
to the vacuum cleaner.

vacuum cleaner to allow the vacuum
cleaner to cool and the thermal protector
to reset. Check for and remove clogs, if
necessary. See REMOVING CLOGS (page
20). Also check and replace any clogged
filters. Wait approximately thirty (30)
minutes and plug the vacuum cleaner in
and turn back on to check if the thermal
protector has reset.

SHOOTING table (page 29-30).
NOTE: The CHECK BAG indicator light may
come on when using certain attachments,
