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 17).
To correct problem: See "Check Bag
Indicator activates" in TROUBLESHOOTING
(page 22).
NOTE
: The indicator may activate when
using certain attachments due to reduced
airflow through attachment.

PERFORMANCE/SAFETY FEATURES

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 (US) / 1-844-
608-3081 (CA) for assistance.
