MOTOR PROTECTION
SYSTEM
This vacuum has a motor protector by-
pass valve which aufomatically opens to
provide coo}ing 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
