Brush Roll

The rotating brush roll sweeps and combs the carpet nap. Keep the brush roll free from hair and threads so it will continue brushing the carpet nap. Replace worn brush strips when the bristles no longer touch a piece of cardboard held across the bottom plate. There are two types of brush rolls, the chromed steel tubular brush roll or the anodized aluminum spiral brush roll. Follow the instructions for the type of brush roll featured on the cleaner.

NOTE: Turn off the switch and unplug the electrical cord before replacing brush strips.
