WARNING
Personal Injury Hazard
To avoid accidental brushroll starting,
always turn off and unplug the vacuum
cleaner before cleaning the brushroll area.
Failure to do so can result in personal
injury.
OVERLOAD PROTECTOR
The PowerMate
has built-in protection against
®
motor and belt damage should the brushroll
jam. If the brushroll slows down or stops, the
overload protector shuts off the PowerMate
and the brushroll status indicator emits red
light. The canister motor will continue to run.
Brushroll Indicator Light
To solve the problem: Turn off and unplug
vacuum cleaner, remove obstruction, then
turn on the vacuum cleaner.
NOTE: Once the brushroll motor shuts down,
clear jam from brushroll and then restart the
vacuum cleaner. If the problem persists,
contact the vacuum cleaner help line for
assistance.
ELECTRONIC SUCTION CONTROL
The electronic suction control allows you
to change the power of the vacuum
cleaner suction motor.

PERFORMANCE/SAFETY FEATURES
Increase suction
for upholsteries,
carpets, and bare
floors.
Decrease suction
for draperies and
lightweight rugs.
CHECK BAG INDICATOR
When the vacuum cleaner is running with
normal airflow, the CHECK BAG indicator
is green. The indicator turns to dark red
whenever the airflow becomes blocked. If
that occurs, check the disposable dust bag,
motor safety filter and other possible clog
locations shown in REMOVING CLOGS
(page 16).
.
®
To correct problem: See "Check Bag Indicator
activates" in TROUBLESHOOTING (page 24).
NOTE: The indicator may activate when
using certain attachments due to reduced
airflow through attachment.
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 off and unplug
vacuum cleaner to allow the vacuum cleaner
to cool and the thermal protector to reset.
Check for and remove clogs, if necessary.
Also check and clean or replace any clogged
filters. Wait approximately fifty (50) minutes
and plug the vacuum cleaner in and turn
back on to see if the motor protector has
reset.
If the canister motor does not resume
operation after the reset procedure described
above, immediately discontinue use and call
1-877-531-7321 for assistance.
