THE BELT: This vacuum is equipped
with the Endurolife Belt, which is
designed for long life and doesn't
need changing.
MOTOR PROTECTIONS: If the vacuum
becomes overloaded (which could occur
when a large 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 and the
headlights will flash. To reset the vacuum,
turn the unit "off", then turn on to continue
use. If it shuts down again there may be a
large obstruction in the vacuum. See
Clearing Blockages for the steps on
clearing a blockage.
