2.Lay the motorized powerhead for- ward on the floor.
3.Locate the locking screws (2) on the bottom of the powerfoot. Using a Phillips head screwdriver, remove the screws. Lift off the brush cover. Grasp the brush firmly, and pull it out.
4.Clean debris from brush. Lint, carpet pile, and hair can be removed with a pair of scissors. If brush bristles are worn or missing, replace brush.

6.Reattach brush cover to powerhead with (2) screws.
