PERFORMANCE/SAFETY FEATURES
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 Status Indicator
To correct problem: Turn off and unplug
vacuum cleaner, remove obstruction, then
turn on the vacuum cleaner again. The
brushroll status indicator will be off.
If the PowerMate
®
motor still does not run
after restart, immediately discontinue use
and call 1-877-531-7321 (US) /
1-844-608-3081 (CA) for assistance.
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 15).
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.
To correct problem: See "Check Bag Indicator
activates" in TROUBLESHOOTING (page 23).
NOTE: The indicator may activate when
using certain attachments due to reduced
airflow through attachment.
