obstruction is sucked up or when vacuuming
extremely thick carpet), the electronics are
designed to shut down the vacuum. If this happens,
the vacuum will automatically shut off. To reset the
vacuum, turn the unit to "O" or off, then turn on to
continue use. If it shuts down again there may be a
large obstruction in the vacuum. See Clearing Clogs
