Active brush edge

WARNING
Personal Injury Hazard
Always unplug the vacuum cleaner
before cleaning the brush area as
brush may suddenly restart. Failure
to do so can result in personal
injury.
PERFORMANCE INDICATOR
SOME MODELS
If the performance indi-
cator turns entirely red
check for a full dust bag,
or a clog in the vacuum.
See HOW YOUR VACUUM WORKS.
NOTE: The performance indicator may turn
red when using attachments or when clean-
ing new carpet, due to reduced airflow by
the attachments themselves or new carpet
fuzz filling the bag quickly.
POWER-MATE ® STORAGE
SOME MODELS
The lower wand has a "U" shaped flange in
the area where the power cord attaches.
The base has a "U" shaped slot near the
front caster.
The flange allows the
wands and Power-
Mate ® to be stored with
the canister to con-
serve storage space.
The canister must be
stored on end for this
feature to be used.
The wand will slip out
of the slot as it is lifted up for use and will
slide into the slot as it is lowered for stor-
age.
THERMAL PROTECTOR
This vacuum has a thermal protector which
automatically trips to protect the vacuum
from overheating. The thermal protector
turns the motor off automatically to allow the
motor to cool in order to prevent possible
damage to the vacuum.
To reset: Turn off and unplug the vacuum
from the outlet to allow the vacuum to cool.
Check for and remove any clogs. Also
check and replace any clogged filters.
Wait approximately 50 minutes and plug
the vacuum in and turn back on to see if
the thermal protector has reset. In some
cases, the unit may suddenly restart. DO
NOT leave unattended.
