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. These 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 cleaner from electrical outlet.

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

3.Remove the five screws as shown with a Phillips head screwdriver. Lift the Brush Cover off.

WARNING:

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