from overheating, if a ciog 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. During this
time the headlight remains on.

vacuum off and unplug the power cord from
the outlet to allow the vacuum to cool and
the thermal protector to reset. Check for
