The efficiency of your air driven turbo
brush depends on the bristle brush
rotating at high speed. Strong air suction
is needed to accomplish this. In order to
ensure that maximum air suction is
maintained, please read the following
instructions:
1. Change the dust bag frequently.
2. Replace the pre-motor and post motor
filters as needed.
3. Ensure that the rotating brush is kept
free of hair and string which may
accumulate and decrease brush
performance.
4. Keep Air Driven Turbo Brush turbine
free of dirt and foreign matter. (See
illustration below for cleaning
instructions.)

2. Inspect turbine wheel and air passage
for debris and/or blockage. Remove
debris if present.
3. Inspect the rotating brush for built-up
hair or string. If present, remove by
carefully cutting with scissors. Avoid
damaging or cutting bristles.
4. Once clean, close the top cover of the
turbo brush and slide the locking latch
toward the rear of the brush to lock.
Cleaning Air Driven Turbo Brush
Using the Air Driven Turbo Brush
Your vacuum cleaner includes a manual
variable suction control. The suction power can
be adjusted by moving the slide regulator to the
desired position between Open and Closed.
(Fig. 3) Open gives you less suction, closed
maximum suction. For example, less suction is
required on upholstery and draperies compared
to thick carpets, which require maximum
suction.
