If you have a problem If a minor problem develops, it usually can be remedied quite easily when the cause is found by using the check list below. Problem: Cleaner won't run Possible cause Possible solution • Not firmly plugged in • Plug in firmly • No voltage in wall receptacle • Check fuse or breaker • Blown fuse/tripped breaker • Replace fuse/reset breaker • Thermal protector activated • Allow thermal protector to cool for 30 minutes (this will allow the thermal protector to reset). Problem: Suction low Possible cause Possible solution • Filter dirty • Clean filter • Obstruction in hose or cleaning tools • If the blockage is in the hose, disconnect hose from power unit. Insert a long blunt item, such as a broom handle, to clear the blockage. • Check tools, wands, etc. for blockages. • Dirt container full or mispositioned • Check to see if the dirt container needs to be emptied. • Check to see if the dirt container is properly positioned and securely attached. Thermal protector An internal thermal protector has been designed into your cleaner to protect it from overheating. When the thermal protector activates, the cleaner will stop running. If this happens, proceed as follows: 1. Turn the cleaner OFF and disconnect it from the electrical outlet. 2. Check filter for dirt accumulation. 3. Refer to "Suction low" section under "If you have a problem". 4. When cleaner is unplugged and the motor cools for 30 minutes, the thermal protector automatically resets and cleaning may continue. If the thermal protector continues to activate after following the above steps, your cleaner may need servicing (see "Service" section). Lubrication The motor is equipped with bearings that contain sufficient lubrication for the life of the motor. The addition of lubricant could cause damage. Therefore, do not add lubricant to motor bearings.
