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.

flow, the light on the performance indicator
is off. The light comes on whenever the
