Maintenance and care (continued)

Check rotating floor brush and drive belt

You should check your vacuum cleaner’s rotating floor brush and drive belt regularly for wear or damage. You should also clean the brush and brush ends of strings, hair and carpet fibers. This type of debris can wrap around the brush and hamper its ability to effectively clean your carpet. Also remove any debris that has accumulated under the brush cover.

1.Unplug the vacuum from electrical outlet.

2.Place handle in low position and turn vacuum cleaner over so bottom side is facing up.

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of injury from moving parts, turn vacuum cleaner off and disconnect power plug from electrical outlet.
