BRUSH CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
After each session or carpet cleaning, the brushes and the brush housing should be cleaned. Before cleaning or changing the brushes, always unplug the machine from the power supply.
Brushes are removed without tools. Tilt and rest the machine on the handle. Push the brush axles (shafts) out of their bearings by hand. Pull axles through the brush and machine housing.
The brushes may be soaked in warm or hot water using mild detergent, and then rinsed with warm water. NOTE: Brushes with crushed bristles can often be restored to original condition by soaking in hot water.
Keep brushes clean and free from debris. Rotate brushes regularly as this will increase the life span of the brushes and ensure even wear.
Before reinstalling brushes, clean out machine brush housing by wiping with a clean damp cloth.
MACHINE MAINTENANCE
The Rombus Maintainer requires very little maintenance. Wipe down the machine periodically with a clean cloth and ensure motor air vents are not obstructed. DO NOT spray water directly over the top of machine.
During interruptions of the cleaning process, always place the machine into the tray or lay it on it’s side (gear housing) to prevent deformation of the brush bristles.

Deformation of the brush bristles can result in unbalanced running and excessive vibrating or jumping.
The machine is fitted with an overload switch. In the unlikely event of overloading, the machine overload switch will automatically trip. It can be reset after approximately 30 seconds (or when the machine cools down) by pushing the set button on the gear housing.
