POWER-MATE® STORAGE
The lower wand
has a "U” shaped
flange in the area
where the power
cord attaches. The
base has a “U"
shaped slot near
the front.
The flange allows
the wands and Power-Mate®to be stored
with the canister to conserve storage space.
The canister must be stored on end for this
feature to be used.
To attach the Power-Mate®, it must be in the
flat position as shown in the illusfa'ation. Use
the handle release pedal to place it in this
position.
The wand will slip out of the slot as it is lifted
up for use and will slide into the slot as it is
lowered for storage.
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. This allows the
motor to cool in order to prevent possible
damage to the vacuum cleaner.
To correct problem: 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 replace any
clogged filters. Wait approximately
thirty (30) minutes and plug the vacuum
cleaner in and turn back on to see if №e
motor protector has reset.
PERFORMANCE INDICATOR
Perhrmance
Indicator
When the unit
is running with
normal air flow,
the light on the
performance
indicator is off.
The light
comes on
whenever the
airflow
becomes
blocked. If that occurs, check the
disposable dust bag, motor safety filter
and other possible clog locations shown in
HOW YOUR VACUUM CLEANER
WORKS.
To correct problem: See the TROUBLE­
SHOOTING table.
Note: The light may also come on when
using attachments, due to reduced airflow
through the attachment.
STAIR GRIP
During normal operation white the vacuum
cleaner is in the horizontal position, the
caster wheel rotates freely 360'.
The Stair Grip feature
allows the caster
wheel to lock in
position when
the unit is
rotated 25“
from horizontal
into a vertical
position in order
for the vacuum
cleaner to rest on stairs.
