PERFORMANCEFEATURES j
,_ WARNING
Personal Injury Hazard
Always turn off and unplug the vacuum
cleaner before cleaning the agitator area
as agitator may suddenly restart. Failure
to do so can result in personal injury.
BELTRESET
The PowerMate has
built-ln protection
against motor and
belt damage should
the agitator jam. If
the agitator slows
down or stops, the
BELTRESETshutsoff
the PowerMate. The
canister motor will
continue to run.
BELT RESET
Bulfon-_
To correct problem: Turn off and unplug
vacuum cleaner, remove obstruction, then
press BELT RESET button.
if the problem persists, have the vacuum
cleaner serviced by a Sears or other
qualified service agent.
THERMAL PROTECTOR
This vacuum clectner has a thermal
protector which automatically trips to
protect the vacuum cleaner from
overheating. If a clog prevents the normal
flow of air to the motor, the thermal
protector turns the motor off
automatically. This allows the motor to
cool in order to prevent possible damage
to the vacuum cJeaner.
To correct problem: Turn off and unplug
vacuum cleaner to allow the vacuum
cleaner to cool and the thermal protector
to reset. Check for and remove clogs, if
necessary. See REMOVING CLOGS (page
19). Also check and replace any clogged
filters. Wait approximately thirty (30)
minutes and plug the vacuum cleaner in
and turn back on to check if the thermal
protector has reset.
CHECKBAG INDICATOR
When the vacuum cleaner is running with
normal airflow tthe CHECK BAG light _s
off. The light comes on whenever the bag
isfull, airflow becomes bJocked, or if
there isa clog. If that occurs, first check
the d_sposable
dust bag. Then
check the motor
safety filter and
other possible
clog locations
shown in
REMOVING
CLOGS (page
19).
To correct problem: See the TROUBLE-
SHOOTING table (page 26).
NOTE: The indicator light may come on
when usingcertain attachments, due to
reduced airflow through attachment. When
usingin LOW POWER the indicator light
may not function.
18

REMOVING CLOGS l
The vacuum cleaner creates suction that
picks up dirL Rapidly moving air carries
the dirt to the dust bag through the airflow
passages. The dust bag lets the air pass
through_while it traps the dirt.
For best cleaning results, keep the
airflow passage open. Check the
starred (_r) areas occaslonally for
clogs. Turn off and unplug
vacuum cleaner from outlet
before checking.
Motor
SaFely
Filter Exhaust
Filter
TO CHECK FOR CLOGS:
•Check dust bag and change if full. See
BAG CHANGING (page 20).
Check motor safety filter and exhaust
filter and replace if dirty. See MOTOR
SAFETYFILTERCHANGING (page 21) and
EXHAUST FILTERCHANGING (page 22).
Check PowerMate for any dirt or debris
[n the belt path area or in the agitator
area. Carefully remove any string or
debris located on the agitator or end
caps. See TO CLEAN AGITATOR (page
24).
If the vacuum cleaner still has poor suction,
do the following:
1. Connect the hose to the canister and turn
vacuum cleaner on. Check the end of the
hose for suction. If there isgood suction
on the hose handle° there is no clog in the
hose. If the suction is bad, remove any
dirt or debris in the hose and handle.
2. Connect hose handle to wand. Check the
end of the wand for suction. If there is
good suction at the end of the wand,
there is no clog in the wand. If the
suctionis bad, remove any dirt or debris
in the wand.
3. Check PowerMate swivel Remove any
dirt or debris.
ICLEANING EXTERIORAND ATTACHMENTS
1. Turn off and unplug vacuum cleaner. DO
NOT drip water on vacuum cleaner.
2. To clean exterior, or to reduce static
electricity and dust build-up, wipe outer
surface of vacuum cleaner and attach-
ments. Use a clean, soft cloth that has
been dipped in a solution of mild liquid
detergent and water, then wrung dry. Wipe
dry after cleaning.
_k CAUTION
