Checking the Rotating Brush and Drive Belt
The brush and drive belt should both regularly be checked for wear or damage. You should also keep the brush and brush ends free of string, hair, and carpet fibers as these can become entangled in the brush and reduce its cleaning effectiveness.
Cleaning the Brush/Replacing the Drive Belt
NOTE: The brush can most often be cleaned without removal from the vacuum. If there is an excessive amount of hair and debris, however, it is best to remove the brush.
Unplug the vacuum. Tip unit over, face down, on a flat surface.
