IVIOTORPROTECTION SYSTEM
Motor Protector
This vacuum cleaner has a motor protector
by-pass valve which automatically opens to
provide cooling air to the vacuum cleaner
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.
To correct problem: See the TROUBLE-
SHOOTING section.
NOTE: The motor
protector may open
when using
attachments or
when cleaning new
carpet, due to
reduced airflow
caused by the
attachments
themselves or by
new carpet lint filling Motor Protector
the dust bin quickly. (BehindHose)
See the TROUBLESHOOTING section.
Note: Do not block motor protector.
Thermal Protector
This vacuum cleaner has a thermal
protector, which automatically trips to
protect both the vacuum cleaner and the
agitator motor from overheating. 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.
To correctproblem: Turn the vacuum
cleaner off and unplugthe power cord from
the outlet to allow the vacuum cleaner to
cool and the thermal protectorto reset.
Check for and remove dogs, ff nesessary.

AGITATOR MOTOR
OVERLOAD PROTECTOR
The agitator motor has built-in protection
against motor damage should the agitator
jam. If the agitator slows down or stops, the
agitator overload protector shuts off the
agitator motor. The vacuum cleaner motor

enfrie a fin de evitar posibles daSos a la
aspiradora.
Para correglrel problema: Si esto ocurre,
apague la aspiradora y desenchufe el cord6n del
tomacorriente para permitirquo la aspiradora se
enfr{ey que el protectortermal se reajuste.
