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 illustration. 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 has a thermal protector which
automatically trips to protect the vacuum
from overheating. The thermal protector
turns the motor off automatically to allow the
motor to coot in order to prevent possible
damage to the vacuum.
To reset: Turn off and unplug the vacuum
from the outlet to allow the vacuum to cool.
Check for and remove any clogs. Also
check and replace any clogged filters.
Wait approximately 50 minutes and plug
the vacuum in and turn back on to see if
the thermal protector has reset. In some
cases, the unit may suddenly restart. DO
NOT leave unattended.
