Circuit Breaker Protection
Your CleanMax vacuum cleaner comes equipped with a manual reset circuit breaker for each motor. The breakers
are designed to protect your vacuum cleaner from overheating due to a cutoff in airflow (i.e. clogged hose,
operating the vacuum without a bag). Should this situation occur, the circuit breaker protector will safely shut off
your vacuum cleaner to avoid any potential damage.
To reset the breaker(s):
1. Unplug the vacuum cleaner.
2. Check for problem (over-filled bag, clog in hose, clogged filters, etc.).
3. Correct problem.
4. Locate “tripped” breaker(s) — one or both of the small buttons located on the handle to the right of the power
switch.
5. Push the reset button(s) that is tripped.
6. Plug vacuum cleaner in and begin using.
For Best Performance
•K

performance. CleanMax filtration products are designed for maximum performance.
• Have machine checked periodically by the retailer where you purchased your CleanMax vacuum.
