RECOMMENDED SOLUTION
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in
death or electric shock.
Plug into another outlet. Check the electrical panel for a tripped
circuit breaker or blown fuse.
Reset the circuit breaker: Push in the button labeled "CIRCUIT
BREAKER" on the side of the unit.
Unplug the unit and allow the motor to cool for up to 2 hours. This
will reset the thermal protector. Check the vacuum bag (Page 7).
Do not operate with a full bag. Do not allow airflow to be
restricted. Do not obstruct ventilation. Check hose for obstruction.
Do not operate without a hose connected.
Unplug the low voltage wires from the vacuum unit. If the unit
turns off, the low voltage wiring is closed (shorted) within the
building. Check all wall valves and vac-pans for crossed wires
first. Inspect wiring where possible for screws or staples through
the wires.
Replace the bag (See Page 7)
If the blockage is in the hose, insert a long blunt item, such as a
broom handle, to clear the blockage. Check attachments for
blockages. Blockages in the hose or attachments can also cause
the thermal protector to activate.
Ensure the bottom is sealed well and the latches are in place.
