MOTOR PROTECTION
SYSTEM
Thermal Protector
This vacuum cleaner has a thermal protector
which automatically
trips to protect the
vacuum cleaner from overheating.
If a clog
prevents the normal flow of air to the motor,
the thermal protector turns the motor off
automatically
to allow the motor to cool in
order to prevent possible damage to the
vacuum cleaner.
To correct problem:
If this occurs, 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.
Check for and remove
clogs, if
necessary.
Also check and clean/replace
any clogged filters. Wait approximately
thirty
(30) minutes
and plug the vacuum
cleaner
in and turn back on to see if the
motor
protector
has reset. The motor
protector
will net reset if the vacuum
cleaner is net turned
off even if the
vacuum
cleaner has cooled down.
Motor Protector
This vacuum
cleaner has a
motor protector
Motor
by-pass
valve
which
automatically
opens
to provide
cooling
air to the
motor when a
clog prevents
the normal flow of air to
the motor. If the by-pass
valve opens to
prevent
motor overheating
and possible
damage
to the vacuum cleaner, you will
notice a change
of sound as air rushes
through
the valve opening.
Note: Do not block motor protector.
To correct
problem:
See the TROUBLE-
SHOOTING
chart.
Note: The motor protector
may open when
using attachments
or when cleaning
new
carpet,
due to reduced
airflow by the
attachments
themselves
or by new carpet
fuzz filling the dust bin quickly.
See the
TROUBLESHOOTING
section.
