Bypass valve

This vacuum cleaner has a motor protector

bypass valve which prevents motor

overheating and damage.

The valve opens to provide cooling air when

a clog or full bag prevents normal air flow to

the vacuum cleaner suction motor.

You will notice a change of sound as air

rushes through the valve opening.

The bypass valve may open when cleaning

new carpet due to reduced airflow caused

by the new carpet lint filling the dust bag

quickly.

Do not block bypass valve.
