CLEANING THE MOTORIZED FLOOR BRUSH

When your motorized floor brush needs cleaning or locks onto an object, it automatically shuts down to prevent damage to your lifetime belt. The indicator light will illuminate red warning you to turn off the vacuum and clear blockage immediately. The light will reset itself once blockage has been cleared and power has been cycled on/off or vacuum has been locked in the upright position.

1Detach the motorized floor brush from the portable Lift-Away®canister.

2Inspect the opening underneath and the rotating brush. If a build-up of debris is present, remove it. Carefully cut anything wound around the rotating brush with scissors. Avoid damaging or cutting the bristles. (Fig. 31 )

Make sure you are working in a well lit area and use a flashlight to help search for blockages.

CHECKING FOR BLOCKAGES

Blockages may cause your vacuum to overheat and shut down. To prevent this from happening, check potential blockage areas after heavy use or if you detect a loss of suction or poor cleaning performance.
