IMPORTANT: On plush and new carpets, stuffing may occur due to excessive fuzz and loose cuttings in the carpet.

IMPORTANT: Unless the brush is worn as indicated above, both bearings must be in the new position. When rotating, both bearings must be in the old position. Unmatched settings will cause damage to your machine.
Reassemble the belt and the baseplate and check bristle height above baseplate at each end of brush.
If a previous adjustment has already been made and bristle height does not extend above baseplate, a new brush assembly should be ordered.
