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.
Protector
NOTE: The motor protector
may open
when using attachments
