PERFORMANCE FEATURES
MOTOR PROTECTION
SYSTEM
This vacuum has a motor protector 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, 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 bag quickly. See the
TROUBLESHOOTING section.
