If a clog prevents the normal flow of air to the motor, the thermal protector turns the
motor off automatically to allow the motor to cool in order to prevent possible
damage to the vacuum.
During this time the headlight remains on.
To correct problem, turn off and unplug vacuum, remove clogs, and/or clean/replace
filters.
Empty dust bin if necessary.
Wait approximately thirty (30) minutes, plug vacuum in, turn on to see if thermal
protector has reset. Thermal protector will not reset if vacuum is not turned off even
if vacuum cools down.
